Raymond, thx for your candid reply, I enjoyed it really much.. on your hint of the joy of snowfields.. actually I'm now tending bed because I got a flu. I like wintersports and Austira got a lot of beutiful pistes. But my real passion goes to cycling. twice a week for good distances - and of course watching the Tour de France at the start of July Why I point out your value judgements.. I don't take this personally or think you are making a mistake. It'S just good scientific method to SEPERATE FACTS FROM BELIEF. You cannot attack beliefs if you cannot proove them wrong (often impossible) but that doesn't mean those beliefs are true. Pointing out that a statement is a value judgmenet frees somebody from prooving ot disprooving it. you state your own opinion, which might be different, instead.. Corporate welfare.. is one element of office politics but I think a small one and the marketplace is always ultimately more powerful. Because if you label the market system as a whole an object corporate welfare it may just be a reference on your own position as well. For example, if you think you deserve this or that (but which isn't rooted in the constitution) you might see the current status quo that doesn'T provide you this or that as influenced by corporate welfare. I see a bit the "us vs. them" attitude in your writing, call it a tad populist. I firmly believe that the market rules but everyone is free to do it better. Isn't the US culture of startups rooted on exactly this belief ? There is no guarantee of sucess, though. Of course so many try a "shorter" road to the public "good" whatever that may be. In Europe this view is even more popular. That position has a problem: the public good is a matter of dissent and what is more important only in a dictatorship the public good automatically overrules all private decisions. I prefer to live in a constitutional democracy where the "public good" is held in check at large. <g> Your NPR source of JFK is pretty off the mark, I can assure you. The "Ick bin ein Berliner" was a great expression, not a Gaffe at all. Berliner might refer to someone from Berlin or a special type of saussage (your donut) but it was a moment of history. Seems to me that radio source knows German less well than you do <g> best wishes CROSSY
