Other SF writers? (Was: How list works andquestions

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Compared with socialism?

Being neither a socialist nor a Catholic, I don't mind at all.

I tell you though, the Catholics will get off much easier.

You notice, Nazis are figures of fun these days. Springtime for Hitler and
all that. But not communists. Why should that be? Nazism is completely
discredited, the countries that still have national socialist governments,
are there any left? Maybe Syria, if we are counting Ba'ath Arab Socialism
as a branch of national socialism, as it is. But you notice that they
don't advertise the connection.

The largest country in the World is still run by communists, even if they
have been acting a might peculiar lately. A friend of mine is there now.
We heard from her an hour ago: she had just heard that there was a big
earthquake. How? A friend in the States emailed her to ask if she was
alright.
