  What we have here is competing manifestos ad infinitum.

  Ideology vs. ideology with no real discussion like a couple of old
  dogs in a p****** contest.

  BTW: My family and family spent decades battling a coalition of government
  and business ("The perfect marriage of the corporation and the
  state" - Benito Mussolini when he founded the fascist party) who
  routinely savaged people's property rights.

  My Dad would have preferred socialist, socialists would have given up earlier.
  
  Just sayin' (and Arthur, that's *all* I'm sayin')
