Yes, Jeff, that is the nature of life in a consumer-driven economy, i.e., we are on our own. I, too, sometimes forget the "facts of life" in my daily dealings. It's easy for any of us not to stop and consider the dynamics of each and every situation during discussions, or in real-time. It's much easier to critisize then to compliment; easier--perhaps more natural--to condemn then to praise. We also tend to look for simple answers to complex dynamics, and to seek scapegoats. Couple this negative-biased, reactionary view point with our self-serving nature disguised in altruisms, oftentimes spoken in colloquialisms and conjecture, and we get a propagation of ill-conceived, misconceptions driving yahooistic poltiics negative to the positive advancement of society. In other words, BS breeds BS, even in the face of truth. It's a sad state of affairs, anyway you look at it. -Rick-
