Amy, OT PS to my previous post: I would like to recommend to you and to others an excellent book called "Economics in One Lesson" amazon.com It is a perfect antidote to the daily indoctrination that we face. Some are able to see through it, some are not. Anyway, back to the book (which I read years ago). It was written long time ago, I believe in 40s or 50s. It goes through many popular issues that are debated today (and they happen to be pretty much the same issues that were debated decades ago). The key lesson that I learned from it is to look for the other side of every action of an individual, corporation or government, even when it is not apparent that there is an other side. There always is the other side, there always is a cost to every "benefit". It is only when you know the other side, or the reaction of the action that you can make a solid argument. Of course, that is if you are interested in making a solid argument rather than demagoguing the issue. Even if your intention is to be a demagogue, the book will show you the arguments the side of reason will likely use against you. Joe
