Bonus Quote of the Day:

 

"It was Thomas Edison who brought us electricity, not the Sierra Club. It was the
Wright brothers who got us off the ground, not the Federal Aviation Administration.
It was Henry Ford who ended the isolation of millions of Americans by making the
automobile affordable, not Ralph Nader. Those who have helped the poor the
most have not been those who have gone around loudly expressing 'compassion'
for the poor, but those who found ways to make industry more productive and
distribution more efficient, so that the poor of today can afford things that the affluent
of yesterday could only dream about."
~Thomas Sowell, from his article ‘The Real Public Service

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
