    There's apparently is an intense necessity to make these secrets well known. It would be pleasant to make the acquaintance of a happy individual who exhibits both freedom and courage.

    Well, it's not surprising that Fred The Socialist who believes in communism hasn't made the acquaintance of a happy individual who exhibits both freedom and courage.  Perhaps you aren't travelling in the right circles? ;-)

    For myself, I am free and truly happy.  There, you've met at least ONE!  Cheers!

    Well Mike,, Norwalk, Mr Archer, you fellas would be giving me just a warm fuzzy all over if it wasn't for my nostrils, picking up a foul scent, redirected me on the correct course pertaining to your biased bologna sausage make believe comments all the way from Norwalk and New York City, respectively. You're both full of it..

    That's a shame...  Come to think of it, I have never met a happy and courageous socialist.  Depressed and cowardly mostly, as well as  ungrateful, arrogant, envious, mocking, blameful, conceited, 'superior' ... It's no wonder they do not value freedom; they want POWER.

    Name one depressed and cowardly Socialist you've met. Names Mr Archer, names. You're sounding a lot like Senator Joe McCarthy with his list of Communists which came to absolutely nothing. And I personally don't recall our meeting introductions. You sneaky guy. I would be so honored to make yours and mine conscious acquaintance.
