I think that it =is= the case that there is no fix... at least no fix
that doesn't break something else we hold dear. It is all about
balance, and different people's ideas as to where it should balance.

I fear this is correct.

In the meantime, I watch the stock market go up and down with my money
with some kind of unexplainable hope in my heart, and do the very best
I can in life to avoid any and all contact with the legal system :-))

I tried to make money in the stock market. Now I make money in the
basement. Alas, that makes it harder to avoid contact with the legal
system.

It's getting harder and harder to open and maintain an honest business
in the United States. Between the ungodly taxes and the cost of
litigation protection it's becoming more and more a global business
environment.
Everywhere I look I see decline and chaos. Cheery picture I know, but I
keep trying to visualize the old bottle as being half full anyway.

What the hell....I can't change anything. A friend of ours owns a paint
store. On the shelf he has a can of paint that says on the back of the
label;
"Don't take internally". The guy this is written for nullifies my vote
!!! :-)))))))))))))))
