[Torie]

I have to go to bed. Thanks for all the responses to my posts, almost all of which were constructive. I am surprised by the degree of intensity on this issue. That in and of itself is instructive. Thanks.

Good night, Torie. Sweet dreams. Continue to be happy in your snug little world and don't let outside concerns intrude. I sincerely hope nothing bad ever happens to you, for the world needs its dewey-eyed idealists to create a better place for all. Meanwhile, the rest of us will try to come to grips with the hell it has become.
