thanks for the longest sustained expression of sincerity I've seen from you on this forum. You're welcome to correct me if I'm wrong. I appreciate your bonafides.

I also get your grievances, I don't agree that they should lead to unbridled cynicism. Whichever nerve i tingled led to a, for me, welcome loosening of your reserve. Retighten your chitin if you must...

Uhh, btw, I arrived here with less than $2 in my pocket. Survived the first 2 years on Unemployment from my home state and Food Stamps. My days at Kaimu are now faint and can't be relived, but formative nonetheless. I got on with the ILWU for 3 years while starting my own business, and have been self employed for 37 years....

I can appreciate a range of stories, I just choose not to accept the worst case scenarios so prevalent on this forum regarding our elected officials. I know to many of them to accept pervasive corruption or institutional incompetence. But hey, I've gone from being a cynical optimist to a optimistic empiricist !
