8. But trotsky was pretty brutal himself
he was no saint, and he carried out some of Lenin's most brutal orders.
Stalin was undoudetdly the worst of the bunch though....Trotsky deserves credit for trying to stop him

6. How About An Ex-Stupervisor?
He was a rabid Rethug the year Regan got elected. When he transferred to "Security" within my local TelCo, I couldn't think of a better gift than a "card-carrying" paid membership to the American Communist Party.

19. Not Really
Ever hear of a "Crazy 8-Ball?" An 8-Ball manufactured with a weight cast in it where the center-of-gravity was off-center?

I found a "crazy" cue-ball at my local Magic Shop once, slipped it into a pool tournament once and witnessed 70% of the crowd that night walking out.

He was a retired cop, his niece and I didn't get along and he didn't understand nor care why the bartenders preferred my patronage over her tab.

I like practical jokes, but I don't indulge unless I have a point to make. Whenever I do, I can only say...

Baaaaawwwwwhhhaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!

21. You've NEVER Done Anything Like That?
I find that hard to believe. You're intellegent, street-smart and don't appreciate the wrong end of "the shaft."

I just prefer the "Bob Hope" approach to revenge...it's funny, directed and (unlike Rove's attitude) will always leave you with a way out.

I explained what happend with the League and made up for it at my cost. He couldn't when the bartenders were on my side and he wouldn't pay the court costs of paying off on those video poker machines at "his" direction....

The a**-hole deserved everyting he got and I'm not apologetic if I've thought of something before he did.

I reinterate: BBBBwwwwwhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

11. best communist leader--Gorbachev
Edited on Tue Sep-30-03 04:28 PM by Zuni
Ho Chi Minh was head and shoulders above most, although he did have his faults. I would say Gorbachev or Ho were the best.
worst--there are so many terrible ones:
Lenin, Stalin, Beria, Dzerhinsky, Brehznev, Mao Tse Tung, The Gang of Four, Mengitsu of Ethiopia, Ceacescu, Pol pot and Ieng Sary of the Khymer Rouge, Enver Hoxha, Najibullah--it is hard to choose out of this rogue's gallery
