Um...Marty, how do you throw adjectives like "the rich" into a value
equation. Is there some calculus by which you can determine how much more a
poor man's boat is worth than that of a rich man?


Ah, now Dave I think you're merely being disingenuous, rather than
merely simple. It is obvious to most that the assets of the "rich" are
indeed more worthy protecting. Now don't bother spouting some nonsense
about paranoia, it happens repeatedly. I'll bet you that if one of the
Duponts reports their dog missing in Delaware that there will be a much
larger effort given to finding it than if you report your dog missing.

To deny that money buys influence and that sycophancy is nonexistent is
simply foolish.
