robwin: LOL. Ask them how much money ... ...they've lost following advice of such obvious superiors. Not really. Just kidding. Some, who are quickly silenced, have publicly noted their misfortune. That's the bottom line, once the self-righteous rage dissipates. Seen it before -- many times. All year long. BTW: Thanks for the link, although must be a subscription(?) that limits us to open. Best regs, 'b-i-a' ###

the self-righteous are usually the ones that require the assistance from society to deal with the reality of day to day..excuse me while I vomit.. LOL !!!!! Indeed "The worst government is the most moral. One composed of cynics is often very tolerant and humane. But when fanatics are on top there is no limit to oppression. " H L Mencken

"..excuse me while I vomit.." Whatever Voltaire's faults, it does strike me that he is motivated by a genuine desire to help others and see them prosper. As long as he attempts to do so from a basis of optimism and faith he will be frequently embarrassed, wrong in many specific instances, and perhaps even devastated on occasion. But in the long run he will likely prevail. Dwelling in hatred, resentment, envy, and bitterness will no doubt win you a few gratifying victories from time to time, but it doesn't necessarily prepare you to succeed in your own right.
