this is from wikipedia
This is in reference to Social Democracy
In general, contemporary social democrats support:
- A mixed economy consisting mainly of private enterprise, but with government owned or subsidized programs of education, healthcare, child care and related services for all citizens.
- Government bodies that regulate private enterprise in the interests of workers, consumers and fair competition.
- Advocacy of fair trade over free trade.
- An extensive system of social security (although usually not to the extent advocated by democratic socialists or other socialist groups), with the stated goal of counteracting the effects of poverty and insuring the citizens against loss of income following illness, unemployment or retirement.
- Moderate to high levels of taxation (through a value-added and/or progressive taxation system) to fund government expenditure.
Social democrats also tend to support:
- Environmental protection laws (although not always to the extent advocated by Greens), such as combating global warming and increasing alternative energy funding.
- Support for immigration and multiculturalism.
- A secular and progressive social policy, although this varies markedly in degree.
- A foreign policy supporting the promotion of democracy, the protection of human rights and where possible, effective multilateralism.
- As well as human rights, social democrats also support social rights, civil rights and civil liberties.

METAL mondays
I know I just blogged a minute ago. But since my wife is doing "Sustainability Sundays" I assumed it was most logical to have a "Metal Monday." Football Friday and Wedding Wednesday are to come.

Terror ALERT: Orange
Off all night. Dogs crapped. Rays won. I love socialism.
A flick of a wrist shows a burnt out menthol.
It was comprised of a fervid flame.
Now it reflects a poor man's bane.
Once too bright for the waning dark.
The effigy that haunts our waking thoughts.
Naive to the air that extinguishes hope.
An aid to the poison that silences throats.
Still I wish I had that fire that burns.
And ignites delight that all children yearn.
The dreams of a future and a day before night.
This drag on my soul which generates vice.
The puff on a stick of advice I once gave
To the coward and meek who inherit the brave
So Ill search my spirit for the words to the song.
Which now sits crushed on this minstrel's palm.
I gave the words of life but only in theory
To this unfortunate man's afflicting inquiry.
Ill pray to the Father of all what to do
"Hey bro, that light you seek, it's in you."
