If you do not check a company before entering into a transaction, you could lose your money, time and credibility. Some widely used resources are the Better Business Bureau (www.bbb.org) and the national fraud center ( www.fraud.org) These days, you can easily find out more about a company using the internet in a few minutes. From a company's website, you can details about its ownership, how old the company really is and feedback from the company's customers.

Communism. On paper it seems to work, but in practice it runs into human nature: cadres eventually deem that their loyalty and service to state, party, and revolution excuses them from obeying the very laws that they promulgate and enforce. This can be kept going for about 70 years at the outside, and becomes only more difficult with the exchange of ideas among the people of the world.

Currently I think that it's Scientology. Historically, I believe that Russian Communism was one of the biggest scams perpetrated on a nation. There were always people in control of the nation who had power and privilege and protected it fiercely with rhetoric, propaganda and the secret police all in the name of the worker. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

The Crusades--and there were seven or eight of them--in which European Christian armies invaded the Middle East to try to recover the "Holy Land".
And the same thing seems to be going on even today in modern times.
