I saw where a Lockheed/Martin satellite is to be launched in June on a Chinese rocket. I guess BS's contribution paid the dues for them too.

Ha! That's funny. Read your post again. You claim "Your own words contain no such comparison" and then you include the part where I say: "Do you know what a poll tax is? How it was used in the United States? Do you know why it is offensive to anyone who believes in the concept of a democracy that you would propose one here? ... Either you don't believe in democracy, or you don't know what a poll tax represents in America." Maybe the comparison was too oblique for you. Remember, this was back before I realized how much things had to be spelled out for you. I was assuming that you knew your history well enough to know why and how the poll tax came about... the fact that it came about as a way to enforce the type of discrimination you propose. Dragonfly
