Or King Kong for that matter. This statement is false

My point in a nutshell. This statement is false

You responded with more clever insults. Sorry, but your message is lost in that act alone. I doubt your ability to allow a last word though. This statement is false

Someone pointed out that since political power has the ability to create problems for commerce, it also has the ability to create advantages. I'm not sure that hands-off is the only advantage - you have said you are in favor of regulation. Re Roman tariffs, it may be simply be that Rome's tariffs - being well regulated and less extortionate that that of the several thousand warlords they replaced, represented a lowering of the cost of goods and an increase in supply.

However, Commander-in-Chief is, indeed a military title and places the President at the top of the military chain of command. No-one in their right mind assumes that it somehow means that there can be no dissent.

Also, the expression right is limited, for instance you are not allowed to speak to journalists without the consent of your hierarchy. All of those strictures can be and sometimes are accepted in civilian jobs. None of them are considered inalienable rights of citizenship, as far as I know. But again, we are talking about two different countries. Jon Smith & Wesson: The original point and click interface

You're right! If government sucks less money (i.e. economic activity) out of the real economy, it cannot possibly be worth it: Congress *needs* those monies to buy the votes of the electorate. That the real economy always strengthens and that tax revenues always increase after these horrible "tax cuts for the rich" is a meaningless coincidence. You know, really, if Congress only had the wisdom, and the courage, to set the tax rate at 100% on all income, then all our problems would be solved, world without end.

All true. I wasn't questioning your point, just it's applicability to politcal parties. As for red skinned people... What about Irish people on beach vacations? :laugh: Visit BoneSoft.com for code generation tools (XML & XSD -> C#, VB, etc...) and some free developer tools as well.
