        <description><![CDATA[Haven't we seen that extremism on any topic is not only irrational, but destined to fail.  Capitalism and socialism and communism are all inventions of people who think they can create a better world.  There are some aspects of each that have merit and others, that if exaggerated are destructive.  Look at what treating corporations like people have done to our struggling democracy.
