Yes. I suppose what disappoints (-and surprises) me most is that people
buy the lines of crap they hear from sources such as those we've been
discussing. Political discussions are futile, though, because nobody
changes their minds and I certainly don't have enough hard facts-and-
figures at my fingertips to logically "prove" specific assertions.
Nevertheless, in spite of both their flaws, I know who the Republicans
are good for and who the Democrats are good for, and since I'm not rich,
I'm a Democrat. If I were rich, I'd be a Republican.
