My take-

1. I appreciate Superman for making me think. Thought provoking is good. "Your mama...." type stuff is worthless. Superman is always thoughtful, and has some good arguements.

2. Communism ignores the human spirit to excell. Why work hard if there is no benefit? In a communist system, all sports would end in a tie, because one team having more is not fair. The result? No more sports. What's the point of trying? That's why, with so much fertile land in Russia, they had to import so much food. Production per acre was an absolute joke.

3. Jesus never commanded the government to care for the poor. He commanded US! Giving "tokens" to the government through taxes is a way to say "I've done my part, now don't bug me. I care, after all."

I help build homes with Habitat for Humanity. It's MY job, not government's. Supe- Have you ever taken a homeless guy out for dinner? I have. I won't hand him cash, but I've asked him to join me, and I'll let him order anything on the menu. Good chance to talk.

4, and back on topic- My wife has gone to Russia twice now, to help train teachers how to teach kids. So many areas still expect kids to sit in neat rows and listen to lectures. The thought that kids learn much faster by having fun is a new concept (My wife is a silly nut around kids).
These wonderful people are starved for the Bible, and are wanting my wife's group to go back over and over again. Having some religeous freedoms returned is doing great things. The Russian Orthodox church has always exsisted, but with the communist government's heavy thumb watching and controling everything.
