<p>[QUOTE=&quot;V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2496312, member: 71723&quot;]Yes, thank you. I&#039;m in Philly now, where people lost their Wild West wannabe fantasies over two centuries ago. Return to Amish country in the morning. You know, Amish people, who eschew worldly possessions and avoid flashy displays, and don&#039;t even ALLOW insurance at all, because they&#039;re all jointly OBLIGATED TO&nbsp; BE responsible to help their neighbor with any need that should arise. I help too, even though I&#039;m not Amish myself. I&#039;ve been part of two barn raisings over my lifetime. Why? Because it&#039;s the neighborly thing to do. So is paying my fair share in taxes.</p><p><br /></p><p>My son and I had a wonderful evening in the French Quarter Wednesday with Santinidollar and Kirkuleez. Both fine gentlemen of the highest order.</p><p><br /></p><p>You want to talk about &quot;socialism&quot; on steroids, with a real market for nearly everything? Check out the Amish. The lack of greed works, people. It&#039;s not EVERYBODY&#039;S bag o&#039; tricks, but they sure are wonderful people to live around and do business with. They live their commercial lives by auction for almost everything, including real estate.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
