      Scared of the world, moves on base. There is no way he or his wife do their own shopping. Its actually a good question, civilians arent normally allowed to shop on post.

What is Social Democracy?

There are a number of variants, but we can provisionally define it as a political ideology which prescribes the use of democratic collective action to extend the principles of freedom and equality valued by democrats in the political sphere to the organization of the economy and society, chiefly by opposing the inequality and oppression created by laissez-faire capitalism.
