Isn't Nader the one who insisted that one side of the electrical plug in be bigger than the other prong?
What a pain in the hind end. I usually take the snips and snip off both sides of the prong on the plug. It fits my old extension cords better at Christmas time.  ;)

Pam, I'm thinking the verses you mentioned from the Bible are in regards to the local congregation that was all in one accord. 
But you have to wonder where some our politicians and voters get the ideas we gotta pay thru gov't for others.

And all that believed were together, and had all things common; And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need. (Acts 2:44-45)
...
Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, and laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need. (Acts 4:34-35)

Pam, what you are quoting is part of the process that the apostles went through as they forsook their worldly ways (possession, family, etc.) in order to follow Jesus.  And, you missed one quote that comes later in the Bible...Jesus instructed every apostle to take only one cloak and one pair of sandles...and carry nothing, accepting whatever what given them in the towns that they visited...and, if the town rejected what they were saying, then they were to shake the dust of that town off of their feet and continue on their way.  The day that we have public leaders who are ready to forsake their egos and wealth in order to facilitate a better life for the rest of humanity (Ghandi and Mother Teresa come to mind), THEN I'll be willing to listen to the Marxist slogan, "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need."

I know Red, It's just theorized that they are where Marx got his inspiration for from one according to his means idea.

LOL uhm you might want to be careful doing that.  Thats a polarity plug. Some devices don't work to
well if the polarity is reversed.
:D
Curb your politician.  We have leash laws you know.

Pam...you mean that Marx actually had some religion?  I thought that religion was seen by that crew as the opiate of the masses.

It's only outdoor Christmas lights. I have some of  the old extension cords that only have the regular size plug in things. And I have done it for years and years and years.... Slowly filtering out the old cords and getting the new ones so that the plug fits..  :)

His father was born jewish, Marx was raised Lutheran.
Before anybody goes all balllistic, I read.....a LOT.....I try to learn about all sides of a question before I form an opinion about it. Marx is just like everybody else, he was human.....not the devil incarnate...tryin to explain and change the inequalities he saw in HIS world of early 1800's Europe. Just like lot's of other philosophers different people read different things in what he said and used them accordingly. Do I agree with him? No, but he did make some relevant points.

I read LOTS too... but I can't be that neutral with things and people like this.
