This sorta crystallized a thought floating around in solution in my own head. It makes for an interesting Gedanken. Suppose you could push a button and put a guy in the Oval Office who would end Medicare and Social Security, but would also stop killing people overseas. Would you push it? And don't anybody tell me it's an unrealistic question. Of course it's an unrealistic question. That's the point of a Gedanken: to clarify your thinking, not to erect a contingency plan. -- -- Michael J.
