Phil, you just don't get it. We'll just have to send the tumbrels around to your place. Nobody had to borrow. I considered it and declined. I wanted a house. But decided against buying it simply because of the price and the prospects for financial relativity theory processes. There are already heaps of regulations. There aren't any more needed. Just enforce the existing ones related to fraud, theft, fiduciary duty etc. You don't really think that everyone should base their economic decisions on what some bloke in a government department pronounces do you, even if he is our great, wondrous, illustrious, venerable, honorable, admirable, Alan Greenspan KBE? That's how the Kremlin ran. People have to think for themselves. One bloke can't know everything or even much of anything and can only partly get things right - especially something as absurdly complex as predicting the financial climate in years to come, or even the financial weather next week. "Your buddy Bush"... is stretching my admiration very thin. I did like the tax free dividends decision. I said there were no WMDs and didn't think the conquest of Iraq was a good idea. I was against the GSM instead of CDMA decision for Iraq. I'm trying to think of something he did which I thought was good. Reappointing Alan Green$pan was good [though hardly challenging - perhaps he had no idea so just left things as they were]. He was a cheerful enough President, but a wastrel, spending umpty $billions and into the $trillions. There was probably something I thought pretty good, but can't recall it. Beating Gore was good - at least we don't have CO2 hysteria at full-blown force yet and all the other wacky ideas of Gore. Obama has enough for now, with another $trillion "stimulus" needed soon, like a mainlining heroin addict. Mqurice
