<We citizens employ the managers, we are not their livestock I quite agree. > Unfortunately, about 70% of the population does think of themselves as part of the meat market, and hopes for their turn to have their hand in the till and be on the receiving end of the pork barrel. Very few think of themselves as libertarian. They think of that as a dirty word and usually have no clue what it means. They think that it means no laws and murder and theft are allowed if you can get away with it. People are so imbued with serfdom that they simply cannot imagine a tradeable citizenship or citizenship as a property right outside a collective one. They automatically think, within a second or two of considering the proposition, that it's no good. That's Luddite thinking. Most people are Luddites, though they deny it. Yet, ironically and insanely, they simultaneously maintain that they are anti-communist. How's that for crazy? They are for collectivism, while at the same time being against it. And those people think they have a rational approach to the stock market. Mqurice
