    Sensible polices for a fairer society, why should the needs of the few out way the needs of the many.

    I recall the passport business. I get the same treatment when from UK customs when returning from the Channel Islands.

            Another famous Austrian liked to setup special camps, presumably they didn't fire up the ovens again to keep them warm
            Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

            No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.
