Mostly anyway. I don't know about the "Corporate monopolistic control of our economy" but we can leave that for another day. You said:
"I sincerely hope that 20yrs from now we'll look back and say GW was a visionary. But I'm afraid he'll be relegated to the bin along with Jimmy Carter."

Thanks for the calm, clear and friendly debate.
