This proves that US consumers are far more intelligent than government bureaucrats.

+++++++++++++

Not sure who said this originally, but as far as gubermint bureaucrats go, we would make a substantial improvement in the competency of congress if we picked the first 535 names out of any phone book and made them our “leaders”.

The quote was from William F. Buckley, Jr.

He “retired” from the CIA to lead the conservative movement.

We were played so badly.

I would agree if you said "the first 535 names picked randomly from any phone book ..." because I don't want to be lead by ANYONE whose last name begins with "A" or "B" ...

... now, of course, we know that ANYONE whose last name begins with "C" is pure leadership material ...

...

...

...

In the interest of full disclosure, it is just coincidence that my last name begins with "C" ...
