    End to colonialism! Power to the people!

    Andy,

    It was obvious even to me that he wasn't here to play chess. I don't think you needed a question there. A statement you are not here to play chess would have been more accurate.

    Your chains are just way too easy to pull Andy!! πŸ˜‰ πŸ˜›

    Seems like you're the one with the weak chains. Is sarcasm too difficult for you to grasp?

    Yes, Andy sarcasm is sometimes difficult to tell in the written words, now in person no problem. πŸ˜› πŸ˜‰

    Is common sense to difficult for you to grasp?

    The Soviets may won the battle in Vietnam, but they lost the Cold War and succumbed to the wrath of their own long-oppressed so-called peoples' republics.

    I happened to be living in Germany in the 1980s and 90s and saw E. Germany both before and after the wall came down. Whatever the flaws of capitalism may be, they are less dangerous and less stupid than those of Soviet Communism. A disastrous social experiment that was; the world is well rid of it.
