How unusual to read something about this dead horse that isn't pure
BS.  If you passed this one up, ask for it to be mailed to you.
Because of the subject, which most of us are sick of, I almost didn't
read it.  No axe grinding - it simply shows that we are ALL the losers
in this fray, even though we collectively will never agree on who the
villains are.
