Imagine, if you will, the perfect socialist paradise. Free stuff at absolutely no cost provided by generous benefactors. Too good to be true? A local grocery store near me did such a thing, providing a 'free barbecue' to any and all who set foot on their property. what happened? lines formed and persisted for hours on end, with three overworked cooks serving dozens of people at a time. people were willing to wait for over twenty minutes in the heat outside, all for only -half- of a hamburger or hotdog. no fries, no drink. this is what socialism looks like in the best of circumstances. it stinks
