I would not paint you folks, all contemporaries of mine with that broad a
brush. There seems to be an endless supply of folks who never heard of
TANSTAAFL, and once hearing about it, are convinced it doesn't apply to
them. A western movie actor named Marion Morrison when he was born, in a
county seat town about 7 miles from where I grew up, you know him as
John Wayne, once said "stupidity should be painfull" comes to mind, but
in our so-called PC society today, theres a painkiller for that. Dammit.
