[MD] blind giant

[Ian Glendinning]

I agree with that view Woods.
It was a sad day when the UK used that legislation for that purpose.

It's one of those cases of pragmatism where you feel ... I hope they
know what they're doing ... (ie that they weren't doing it blindly).

Without something like the MoQ as a moral framework, even the most
intellectual, well intentioned govenment is flying blind, by the seat
of their pants.

Must listen to blind pilots ... refresh my memory.
