It's because of Al's big secret -- he doesn't actually want a free and open debate about the BID. People who know what others are thinking remind me of the "joke" in Freud's "Wit and its Relation to the Unconscious" (unlike some people around here, I don't post other people's work and pretend it's my own). One day, the rabbi in a small village near Lvov rushed into the Schul and told everybody he had received a vision in a dream that the venerable Chief Rabbi of Minsk had died. The whole congregation went into mourning about the passing of this great scholar. A week later, a traveler from Minsk came to the village. Naturally, everybody rushed over to him with condolences and questions about the passing of the Chief Rabbi. "But, he's not dead," the traveler said. "I saw him only four days ago and he was alive and well." The villagers rushed over to their own rabbi's house, to complain about his giving them false information. He replied, "Ah, maybe the vision I got in my dream from Minsk was wrong. But, you have to admit what a wonderful thing it was to have received any vision at all in a dream from such a long distance, even if it was wrong."
