Doug,

I am not bothered by your opinions, but I am a bit put off by your style of 
argumentation.  For example, you wrote:

Now, this is a smear:  I don't think anybody in this thread has said 
anything like "private enterprise for profit is an evil that must be replaced."

In another post you said:

"Your strong negative reaction to the use of market forces in achieving 
positive outcomes ...."

This is also a smear:  I don't think anyone has written against "the use of 
market forces...," or indicated that they prefer negative outcomes.

It is good to have one's views challenged.  It is less good to have one's 
views misrepresented.....
