>For one thing, I wouldn't care one iota if a street merchant drove a Cadillac<

But it is what premies believe is the problem for exs - they are stuck with the Cadillac problem because they can't or won't see what real source of harm actually is.

Although I would get pretty pissed off at any street merchant from whom I do not wish to purchase anything, and who gets a quarter of his Cadillac paid for by the Government under the pretence that it's for Charitable use.

Paddy, makes an argument above for most premies being 'happy' - they also seem to be pretty stupid.
