No, I don't think so. There really is not a lot to add to what you have said really. Strange, I am on the other side of the pond from you in Canada and I think you are basically correct about definitions being different. Never had a great fear of government that had socialist overtones as I live in such a country. What I fear is the extremists at both ends of the political spectrum and the possibility that they may be in power some day. The amount of regulating and control of individual citizens from either of these extremes amounts to the same thing in the end and would be unbearable.
