Great blog, David. I too am confounded by the alure of collectivism after so many failures throughout history. And let's not overlook the tens of millions who perished in the 20th century at the hands of "compassionate" and arrogant collectivists. And the madness continues today despite the dismal record of socialism and communism. Apparently, the quote "those who don't learn history are doomed to repeat it" is completely accurate.

Ignorance works wonders.
