How to Make an OWS Protester Melt Without Teargas - Ricochet.com: "Elena
Here's socialism for you:
My Ukranian grandparents were exiled by Stalin to Siberia, where they struggled to survive in minus-60 degree winters.
My father, an engineer, saved his entire life to buy a pathetic Russian automobile, only to die a year later, at 51, from negligence and indifference in a Soviet hospital.
Every day until I was 20 years old, my mother or myself had to stand on line for hours for a loaf of bread, a tomato or, miracle of miracles, chicken or beef.
All year long, I dreamed of the special season when fruit vendors from Chechnya came to our city and we would, if we could afford it, buy a basket of tangerines.
The wages of doctors, engineers and other educated people were held at much lower levels than those of common workers, because of the Communists' glorification of "labor".
The KGB burst into our apartment one night and dragged my father away, because of an anonymous denouncement.
Think that could only happen in the Soviet Union? Think again: if people like Barack Obama and these "occupiers" have their way, it would happen here.
