[FairOpinion]

Thanks you for the excellent, logical, clear, and insightful essay. It was worth your time, it will be preserved. I will be posting it (with proper attribution, of course) as a reminder to those, who want to assess the choices we face calmly, intelligently.

I hope that, at least occasionally, you will continue share your insights.

Thanks FairOpinion.....I had a boss once that, when he would receive a lengthy memo, would say, "looks like you didn't have time to write a short memo, so you wrote a long one." I could have written what I had to say with a fraction of the words.

I enjoy your posts. I will post my "insights" from time to time.

All the best,

Lando
