The Gold Owner always wins when there is a showdown between these two parties. Eventually, if not immediately. So where does that leave us? I think you and your posse are right to point out loudly and often that this sucks. But that's about all we can do. I defend the right for people to be wrong. It's the price we all pay for a more equitable society where we may hope that cooler, saner heads will prevail in the long run. Got any better ideas?
