Default Re: Bush\'s 4th veto of his presidency is a good one

pvn, you do realize that you're using the word "socialist" in a very unusual manner, yes? And that every time you use it in that way, you're going to have to stop and explain what you mean if you want be understood?

Assuming the answer is yes, wouldn't it be clearer just to say what you don't like about governments or mixed economies? I think it would be less confusing, and would help to avoid having the discussion devolve into an argument about semantics -- i.e, instead of arguing about the proper definition of a "socialist," it's better to argue about the implications of the things which we might happen to label as socialist.
