That's obvious from this comment (it wasn't that obvious form the other
one and I can't say that I agree with his views on the Bible). To this
end, I stand corrected.
Nevertheless, "Capitalism is the worst system know, but it's the best
system we have." Ideologically (as opposed to practically), Communism is
a much better system that capitalism - but it's also more narrow-minded,
a BIG fault in it's core. As my teacher would say, "music theory is not
music fact." I'll stop here because I really dont' want to get into this
now (I'm tempted though ;-) It's hard NOT to get into this... )
Maybe Alannis Morisette should have discussed this in the missnamed
"Ironic".
