Doug is certainly right about declining tariffs and
non-tarriff barriers re: Grossman's drift toward protectionism."

The leftish consensus around here is that the county to the south

anti-tax movement among Orange County's middle-class and rich
classes; (2) developers and corporations

In response to her comment on how good the US military's child-care

Comrades, I second Cindy on this. (Sorry, a re-intro: I'm a
