Hear, hear!  Here, here!

Well said, sir.  I agree with you 100%.

But the problem, in my view, is that both of you are right.

David certainly has an advantageous position; to him, and the other effects
seem pointless.  But to Ron (is it really Coyote??), the businessman with
ideals tempered by reality and pragmatism, free to one is surely not free
to all.

I welcome the healthy exchange of views.  My compliments to both of you
gentlemen,
and to all, have a wonderful week

BTW, TC wanted the commie thread closed.  I didn't see your comments
perpetuating it to any harmful extent, hence my reply.
Please excuse me Tom.
