Welcome to the group. What about the SOM world is driving you "insane?"

I think it's good to remind everyone from time to time of the horrors of 
Marx atheistic pragmatism. There are still plenty of intellectuals around 
who preach Marx doctrine: "From each according to his abilities, to each 
according to his  needs.".

Well, we can see one contributor who uses the MOQ to justify his view that 
it would be OK if sanctions against public nudity were removed.  
Personally I don't agree that a world full of naked people would 
constitute a pragmatic application of the MOQ. But, I could be wrong. :-)
