Both your and Terry's point are well taken and understood.
I was being bit idealistic that day, it could happen, just not on this planet I suppose. your comments remind me of how they appeased the poor during the 30's.They made a lot of movies, like the three stoogs etc, who were continually causing havoc at some well to do persons dinner party or the like.
It was the only way the poor were going to get a laugh on the rich. Making those movies was a smart move on the part of the well to do.

Searle,
Me thinks that you did a very good job of telling Gary yourself. Sorry to say that I agree with you. Hate to tell you that, as I know how that will make your head bigger. I think he came in the middle of our harangings, and did not really understand our double speak. The gubment always does what makes them feel good, and that is to put money and perks in their own pocket. Good call on the election here. I for one thought the same, and felt that the elephants would do better that everyone thought.
Terry
