Where is the line drawn? That is the problem, we all draw it just to
the left or right of where we are standing. Sort of justifies where we
are standing, and it probably depends on who we are talking to at the
time.

Probably also depends on who is holding out their hands to whom for the
dole. Whether its corporate welfare, or personal, and how hungry you
are at the time. And how hungry the politician is to get you fed and
happy and voting for them.

As far as pet projects, Tinker was my pet dog growing up. She was a
sweet spirited and loving companion. I loved her dearly, and she would
be very old now if alive. Probably she is buried in some forgotten
landfill someplace. I don't think that she would smell so nice or be
fun to pet now. So go pet projects!

I want you to know that despite the acrimony of our discussion, I think
Canada, Britain, and the EU countries are great world neighbors. We
have are differences, and various perspectives, but we have a history
also of being able to work them out. There is probably no perfect
government, just what works for you. And what works for us in USA. TnT
