I trust the government to decide what's good for me about as much as I
trust corporations to be honest about what they're selling me.

Failure to perceive that overwhelming or over centralized political power
is in practice about the same as overwhelming or over centralized  economic
power is one of the commonest, most fundemental failings of the American
right.

For the time being, I will wait to see if the list at large has any
interest in any continuation of this thread; I'd have thought that the
thrust of my original remark was clear enough. . .

There comes a redeemer and he slowly too fades away,
        and there follows his wagon behind him that's loaded with clay.
And the seeds that were silent all burst into bloom and decay,
        and night comes so quiet, its close on the heels of the day.

Wake up to find out that you are the eyes of the world,
But the heart has its beaches, its home-land and thoughts of its own.
Wake now, discover that you are the song that the mornin' brings.
But the heart has its seasons, its evenin's and songs of its own.
