So, just so we're all clear, I'm not a socialist, right?

My political education (and anyone else with even the slightest grasp of political theory) says "no", but angry tea party folk keep saying yes. :wink:

It looks more like we're converging to (-3.5, -4.0) than (0.0, 0.0).

That observation is most likely due to the fact there are more of you (fake and/or non-American) than us (American).

:P
