Wish I could give multiple likes to the same post.  I am like Mozart in the movie Amadeus, where he was trying on perukes, and said he liked them all so much, he wished he had multiple heads, so he could wear more than one at the same time ;-)

We've got the thesis and antithesis part mastered. Now we just need to work on achieving a more workable synthesis.

Synthesis involves breaking a few eggs to make an omelet.  As Marx pointed out.  Are you willing to break your eggs, or just mine?

I hope the days of give and take aren't gone forever. Polarization will be the end of us.

Things swing one way, then back again.  Be patient, and live long enough to see it.  I never thought I would see the 1960s again.
