RE: *OT* Political spin Michael and all, My sympathies are a hundred per cent behind anyone told to fold toilet paper for a living, and a hundred per cent against anyone who gives such orders or thinks such a chore is a good thing to do. Let's not fall into the trap of the false dichotomy. I'm opposed to an ideal of all free market and no government whatsoever, true. But I'm equally opposed to a command economy and gulags. My sentiments are with a balanced and mixed market. Without any rules and regulations at all, you get slave labor, and worse. The historical evidence is pretty unequivocal about that, don't you think? This "balanced" view was expounded in some detail during the Enlightenment, which was the era in which Adam Smith lived, not coincidentally. All discourse has political spin. There is no such thing as "neutral" talk. 'Tis a pity, perhaps, but 'tis true. Now, back to making money, okay? Cheers, Tom (long IOM)
