In this thread, I was just playing a role. Sorry. Overall, I am confused. But... maybe not so much anymore. Your last sentence corrected on error on my part which caused significant confusion. I was thinking of the changes as an instant event which had already occurred. You are thinking of the changes as a longer event which has just begun. But, to be completely honest, I'm in the second day of a nasty infection accompanied by fever. Lots of stuff doesn't make sense right now. Maybe that's why the wife and I don't talk politics. Her views are almost exactly the same as GTech's. Pretty close to mine, right? Hmmm... we still don't argue well. I'm sorry. You're going to hate me for this, but I love this. This is a wonderful social experiment! I mean, think about it, the rules for an entire society are being changed dynamically -- without violence. And moreover, the changes are fairly transparent. Yes, much goes on behind the scenes -- but not compared to off-line social systems. This is really fascinating stuff!
If that was a reply to my post I won't see it as I have you on permanent ignore so let me save you wasting your time on replying to me because it's pointless.
