>>I used to think I was becoming more conservative in my old age, but radicalism appeals to me more and more, if we define radicalism in its pure sense of getting to the root of the problem<<

Hi Jack, actually the real conservatives are the liberals, they're the ones trying to preserve the status quo. More and more I consider myself a radical independent. Unfortunately, most of the true radicals in either party are not in office. A good example of where we need a good dose of radicalism is in "reforming" the IRS. You'll be hard pressed to find a politician on either side willing to show a commitment to real reform. Just more tinkering around the edges, trying to preserve the tool that got them where they are in the first place. Same is true of finance reform. Sadly, I think the forward thinking, radical thinkers have little chance of succeeding in the current political environment. I'm afraid we'll have to see some major financial carnage before people will have the guts to make radical change. What's really sad is that the middle class has suffered major financial carnage, most just don't seem to grasp it. Living in the "net" check society.......
