Sorry... but did we win??? I live here and as far as I can tell, they don't agree that they lost. They have their Mercedes, Nike training suits, Perrier water, Coca-Cola and plenty of the other items, yet they claim they WON.... someone care the explain that to me? Before you begin... let me just add one thing. The REAL capitalism that Marx wrote about so many years ago NEVER came to the United States... but is alive and well in the New Russia: You pay for the ketchup packets in McDonalds and then you PAY for the bag to bring it home. Think about that. Michael -----Original Message----- From: "Emily L.
