JFS, If I so chose, I am happy to have that blessing, and privilege. I am free to use it whenever I desire to do so, but since you can't seem to find any blessing, you are doomed to your normal insanity, and hate for the nation that gives you the right to wander off into obscurity, shaking your head, but being annoyed by the vacant echo bouncing around in an empty cavity.

JF, here's a few quotes I thought you would find thought provoking. We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge, or gallantry, would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other. -John Adams- Now since man is naturally inclined to avoid pain - and since labor is pain in itself - it follows that men will resort to plunder whenever plunder is easier than work. History shows this quite clearly. And under these conditions, neither religion nor morality can stop it. -Frederic Bastiat- It would be a disaster to accept the accusations of enemies of democratic capitalism that economic behavior is egoistic, whereas political behavior is or should be altruistic, that economic transactions and morality are incompatible, that culture is noble and superior, whereas financial markets are nasty and inferior, and so forth. We human beings are consistent and coherent in our behavior... -Vaclav Klaus-
