Paul, you have finally said something with which I can agree!  My "like" was too indiscriminate.  I was not intending with my "like" to impugn all socialists or progressives, but rather only those who live in the South Willamette area and oppose the SWSAZ.  I read 40-20's comment in context and thereby inferred what he or she meant, and I assumed others would do the same.  However, your comment suggests that I overestimated the intelligence of some readers.
