"A nice job for their wives", indeed! All the farm wives around here have just oodles of time on their hands. I'm sure it's the same with the European farm wives, who spend all their time watching soaps, eating bonbons and getting their hair done.

I wait with bated breath to learn who will write the codes for the lifestyles of chickens. If someone eats a bad egg, is the chicken sued, or merely executed?

But, Tom, I take issue with your observation about socialists and micromanagement. I've worked for micromanagers myself, and none of them were socialists except the nuns. Micromanagement isn't a political movement, it's a mental condition.

I'm sure if you look you'll find results-oriented socialists who allow for independent initiative. Without them, those socialist governments not relying on police excesses to stay in power would have collapsed long ago.

They don't make for fun headlines, though. They fall into the same category as fair and generous capitalists: impossible.
