John; ( OT ) Steinberg is a popular name a quick serch on amazon.com comes up with 556 books written by authors named Steinberg, zero with Steinbrek. I'v read so many that the topics and authors seem to merge. The negative themes often out weigh the positive ones, but I tend to think that's more because it's easier for authors to say something negative and in a way it makes sense than it is to say something positive that will hold up. No matter how good a theme we manage to express it can always be said better, also progress lends itself to the dilemma of what is good and best today, may well become the enemy of what will be good or best in the future. --------------------------------- Serious mistakes were made in 1913, and no checks were placed on them, a minority managed to ram rod some laws in place by acting in collision and secretly agreeing to "ram rod" them through at a time they knew opposition would not be present, a sort of secret attack that bypassed the way our system was set up to work. This has become the style of the most unscrupulous of politicians. Now I don't say all the trouble started in 1913, as there was much dirty politics even before that. In short honor left our system, inch by inch to were it's hard to find any left. While many good laws have found their ways onto the books, greed has always found a way to circumvent the sprit of the law , and still not technically be found as breaking the law. In no other area have I found that to prevail more than in the banking and insurance rackets. ------------------------ In politics it's not just problems we must solve, the hard part is how to see and resolve the dilemmas that progress imposes, no one is ever going to resolve a political dilemma and be popular with every one, it don't work out that way. <g> Jim
