One can only hope that this will happen! Then we will see how committed to socialism and opposed to any form of personal property (from each according to his ability, to each according to his need; I have a little bit of nothing, you have a little bit of something, so I am taking from YOU what is rightfully MINE; steal the wealth, spread the poverty) these DEMON-RATS and progressives really are! Or would they go running to those oppressor-capitalist cops to demand that their shoes be found and returned to their rightful owners?
I fool you not: I have actually met "progressives" whose paychecks, clothing, etc. were stolen by co-workers, and they did absolutely NOTHING to retrieve them and then seek to prosecute the perpetrators, even though they saw the paychecks, clothing, etc. being stolen! "Oh, the poor souls probably needed it more than I did!" And this corker from Oliver Wendell Holmes: "I like paying taxes; they purchase civilization."
Now, if only all DUMMYCRATS believed and acted the same way, so that the rest of us wouldn't have to pay taxes at all.
Creative non-violence: mix up the shoes, or collect them and donate them to charity, or take one shoe from each pair and place them in a pile in a different location....Hey, you liberals, what goes around comes around! No, I do not advocate committing this or any other act of minor or major mayhem against my fellow citizens except in self-defense. I am not a liberal, after all! But it's the thought that counts!

So THAT'S why John Kerry married Teresa.
He earned his money the old-fashioned way:
Marrying a rich widow.
Surely you've heard them scream "All property is theft!"
