[QUOTE="Liberty Bear, post: 257093, member: 12147"] My background is in wildlife biology, and I wrote a humor book that used a Smokey Bear parody. Yes, it is indeed a coincidence that bears represent Russia (not just the USSR) and the U.S. Forest Service, along with several states (including West Virginia, New Mexico, Louisiana, Montana and California). As for communism, I think every form of government has its place. Communism worked fine for Native Americans. I can't imagine the Sioux or the Apache embracing capitalism. I think communism may have also been a good thing for China about the time it was escaping the clutches of Europeans and Americans. After all, there were a lot of Chinese, and their main goal was survival - as in getting enough to eat. Love him or hate him, Mao Tse Tung helped transform China from a nation where starvation was a fact of life to a nation that was merely poor and miserable. At least, I think I have my facts right. But I think most people would prefer capitalism to communism - and I think capitalism is generally the better way to go, though it is not without faults. It's really hard to say which is rougher on the environment. Frankly, I would like to see the U.S. embrace a "mixed economy" combining capitalism and socialism - kind of like we had during much of the 20th century. Pure capitalism - the type embraced by free market wh*res - can be a very ugly thing, as UPS employees are finding out right now. [/QUOTE]
