Clearing up a common confusion

This is a nation with SOCIALIST medicine: 


SOCIALISED =/=SOCIALIST
and, just to be absolutely clear,
SOCIALIZED =/= SOCIALIST

Please feel free to print this out and distribute it if you find yourself listening to the sort of people that have seen me screaming at the news coverage all week.

I swear, if I was an American and some of the Libertarian loonies leading 'community' concerns came to my door, I would scream: 'COMMUNIST CONCERNS?? AIEEEEE! Fetch me the shotgun, Fido! Time to shoot me some trespassing Reds!'

Admittedly, this raises the questions why an American me would have a dog trained in gun fetching, and speak like Christopher Walken taking the piss, but let's just move on.

That's an offer that's almost too good to refuse. Can I finish a few stories and a new frock first?

Since that would give me time to finish my current subjects and go to the US for World Fantasy Con, a trip to Disneyland and possibly help Linda and Paul pack up their rental house and move into their very own house (assuming their offer is accepted), that timetable would work :)

With any luck I will only have to do one subject during sumemr session so I'll have time over summer for your great Dixtionary project.....
