Hi KastelCo, "Our government leaders are of course 'above the forces of human nature'. :0)" No! Not by any stretch of the imagination! Governments are continually scrutinized and exposed in public forums by watchdogs of opposing forces. Government does not make profits! Politicians choose to be politicians for reasons other than the enormous salaries bestowed on them. LOL. . Why do they perform this service for a portion of the take of these CEO’s of some worthless Dot.Com wannabes? IS it because they are dedicated, much the same as many other professionals who work for less then their worth? If a governing party makes decisions that are not financially prudent are they any more or less responsible than the CEO of Eaton’s or Chrysler. Is there anyone who believes corporate losses aren’t passed on to the public through hidden cost E.I. Bank fees, tax write off. None of these prudent “private “ decisions meet with such rage, as do government bloopers. Why is that? Is it because we have absolutely no control over the private sector and the well fare they inflict on us? Or are we so busy criticizing the obvious that the real villains run free. JMHO ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ Gerry
