Poll: do you know about Thomas Sankara, former Socialist president of Burkina Faso who lived like his people?

I had not heard of him - but I will look further into this man's life and actions now. Thank you. True Socialism at work, not the twisted manifestations of Russia and N. Korea the conservatives enjoy throwing at us. Funny how they ignore the fact that free-market Capitalism (as an economic system) doesn't promote the growth of freedom, but stifles it. There's a reason small-businesses struggle here in America - greediness on the part of the large industries. And greediness, thy name is Capitalism.
