And *that* is probably the most unsettling part of the entire picture-
the fact that the political appointees, assigned to decide the future
of the most technical facet of our society, involving countless billions

disdain technical advice in favor of ONLY the legal.


Miracle of miracles ... Dick and I have FINALLY found one thing
we can agree on without hesitation!
