[MD] growth and sustainability

Truer words were never spoken. The Marxists can't wait for Obama to be 
elected. As for government bureaucracies, one need only point to Freddie 
and Fannie whose strong-arm methods to force banks to make bad loans
caused the current financial mess, conveniently coming just before the 
election. Luckily, you and I have seen America's best days of free markets 
and individual liberties -- the days when the U.S.saved Europe and the 
world from the repression, terror and death of socialist-inspired Communism 
and Nazism.

I seem to remember a yuppie song that asked something like, "When will they 
ever learn?" Obviously, the current generation hasn't.

Best,
Platt
