   Didn't SAY they were worthless.  Just said that YOU give your money to 
ake
them rich and powerful.  I'm with those who don't think business is regulated
enough.  I was just sold an appliance that both the stores selling them AND
the corporation producing them KNOWS IS DEFECTIVE when they sell it.  Ask any
working repairmen who have to repair them.  They'll tell you quite readily 
he
same thing.  I KNOW whereof I speak.  
    This poor echo has tried, and succeeded at moments, in being a true
philosophy echo as some of us would like for it to be but you're obviously on
the side of those who want to propagandize for a political or a religious
position and I can't let you go unanswered when your ONLY tactic is
name-calling.  
   Always been true.  Those who lack ideas call names.  It's JUST THAT 
SIMPLE. 
Sincerely, 
                                     Frank
