Strong black coffee

I taught International relations to College students for 8 years. I have some very strong feelings on the matter of Communism and Communist countries.
I think that someone who has been raised in Vietnam is likely to have a different take on the matter for a wide variety of reasons. I like Ahn and would love to discuss Communism in the politics thread, I just don't think this is the place for that discussion. I don't think it hurts those of us from more open systems to remember that people can get in trouble in other parts of the world for reading the very simple statements that we have made here.
I guess, I am saying, that there is the possibility that this could be a more sensitive topic of conversation then just discussing politics outside of the politics thread and it would not hurt is to be sensitive to that fact.

I should have passed this conversation as I passed the one on religion, but my views, which are derived from very personal experiences (I have not always lived in Spain, free and brainless) are too strong and this topic much too sensible for me to shut my mouth when asked "what is wrong with communism". This has nothing to do with any participant here and is as I said a personal and almost epidermic reaction.
But I will refrain from now on, the subject is closed for me.
Preparing for another day with the normal school determined schedule. Prince has a backpack full of books, he will never be able to carry that thing. Why can't they have lockers like anywhere else ?
I will go shopping today for corn (will try Anh's recipe) and also for pumpkin, which is slowly showing up everywhere, and will do a pumpkin cream soup served ice cold, like a gazpacho.
