Turkey!  Congratulations, you've just started a big argument.  All the
socialists will boil you in oil for this, and then all the conservatives
will retaliate, and so on ad nauseum.  And the whole issue has been
discussed before, probably more than once.

If you strongly disagree with the above statement, please reply to JoSH by
mail.  I know what you guys are going to say already.

I anticipate a reply to this posting.  Someone will say, "You could just as
well object to *any* posting to net.politics for the same reasons."  Ah,
but this posting is ideal for generating dozens of flames:  short,
provocative, and not substantiated by the poster.  We don't need another
conservative-vs.-liberal war of words.

Note:  This does not mean that I am conservative or liberal.  Nor does it
mean that I agree or disagree with JoSH.  I will say that he didn't hit the
nail on the head.  More like his thumb on the thumbnail.
