      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.

          I've not seen a coal man for a long long time but R&B men are still around. Don't see them much now we live in a middle-class area but the other week there was one sniffing around our street, pulling things out of a skip in front of a house.

                Used to be (still is?) compulsory in Sweden hence Saab and Volvo had them fitted as standard. I presume it was to prevent the car behind from being sprayed with Elk blood if one ran out in the road.

                  I actually clocked a coal van this morning- it being worthy of note as I was thinking "you don't see many of them these days" & presumably the people driving it were men
                  How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think
