It's Just the Coffee Talking

Chatting over morning coffee around the kitchen table since 2004.

Previously full of stories of Mommyhood and Mayhem of humorous family life - the kids are older and life isn't at the same crazy yet hilarious pace it was then. As my kids get older and start to leave the nest, life is quieter and I have more time to enjoy the coffee.

Currently blogging more about the news, dogs, coffee and coffee reviews as well as a little bit of rambling about emergency preparedness, food storage and other gear. I post what I feel like posting... if I tend to go on a little bit, don't mind me, it's just the coffee talking.

What Americans Must Know About Socialism

A 2016 Harvard poll determined that 33 percent of Americans under 30 wanted socialism. In January 2016, YouGov asked millennials whether they had a favorable or unfavorable opinion of socialism. Eight percent replied “very favorable,” 35 percent “somewhat favorable,” for a total of 43 percent, almost the same percentage as in their 2017 survey.

But would these same millennials choose socialism, if in exchange for “free” education and “free” health care, they would have to give up their personal property, such as their iPhone? Would seven percent of millennials declare their willingness to live under communism if they knew the real costs of communism as practiced in some 40 nations over the past century — the denial of free speech, a free press, and free assembly, the imprisonment and execution of dissidents, no free and open elections, no independent judiciary or rule of law, the dictatorship of the Communist Party in all matters and on all occasions?
