Boy... for a speculative piece, that one seems to be pissing off a lot of people.
Without simply backing off on anything I said, I can only say that the piece was dashed off quickly, while on vacation (and probably lubricated by a tad too much rum), and posted by me... just to hear the responses. I was not in the proper frame of mind when I wrote the piece. I was actually trying to make a good point... and it all came out way wrong in execution.
So, I'm not a saint. Mea culpa. But I'll endeavor not to do it again, and I'll just fade away now and let everyone enjoy their holidays.
