Hmm, I was enjoying this thread until Mav showed up. Mav, is there any way you could be a little less offensive in your posts? Your nicknames for our political leaders are childish and insulting. Why can't you just discuss things like a normal adult? It usually causes you to come across as a reactionary. Since "reactionary" is the opposite of "thoughtful", it doesn't give me much faith in any facts you try to present.
