Oh jeez, I can't resist this. I must say that certain avowed Marx thumpers
here and on Mark's list, have done more to make me fear central planning
than a lifetime of capitalist propaganda ever did.
And I finally decided that it would be socialism that should be DOS, and
markets, windows. Or whatever user interface you wish to plug-in.
Totalitarian hearts tend to take the reins, in any system, and must not be
theorized out of consideration.  Or, as our beloved dead Nixon would say,
"That would be bad." 

As I am. Farewell.
