At 04:20 p.m. 23/08/2009, Robert Yates wrote re socialized as a term 
of opprobrium : . . .  In the States, "socialized" seems to have 
become a term to put in front of programs that a person considers 
"unAmerican."  I wonder why no one has observed that public libraries 
are clearly a socialist institution par excellence. . . No one, to my 
knowledge, has proposed eliminating "socialized libraries". . .

DD: Nor for USPS. Nor for Farmers' Cooperatives. But what has this to 
do with grammar?
