Christine,

No you can't call me Twinkle Toes! There's nothing funny
about it at all. Apart from preventing flea bites, it
helps me keep in touch with the feminine. And this thread
is about FEELINGS, isn't it?

Fleas are quite a serious health threat, since they carry
tapeworm (common) as well as tularemia (rare). Flea allergy
dermatitis also can end up being fatal for cats, if untreated.

Also, have to disagree completely with you about free trade.
Artificial barriers imposed by govts. such as high import
duties and subsidies always result in higher prices for
consumers, and usually result in an industry that fails
to make innovations and improvements. When this happens,
it becomes a vicious cycle, and the govt. becomes a
permanent nanny.

Why should we pay taxes to the govt. so that it can give
money to an inefficient producer so that it can stay in
business selling at a price higher than its competition?

It makes no sense to me. But, if you can explain the logic,
aside from Congresspersons seeking votes for reelection,
please do so. Thanks!

David
