And the poorer ones can live in tents on the empty golf courses. What a future we are leaving, but don't call us selfish. And I wonder why each succeeding US generation on official polls has stated that they are NOT better off than their prior generation. Just a fact!

Actually, while the Romans and Scots probably didn't know about population growth, at the time Malthusian economics would have dominated the situation (population growing geometrically while food supply growing arithmetically). And nobody has to worry about so called "global warming" since it is a myth. (actually, it is not a myth, it is real and caused by geological and climatological cycles that have been at work for millions of years and have nothing, repeat ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the activities of man. Therefore, nobody has to worry about it since we can't change it. Now, I do have to admire the apocalyptic Euell Gibbons beetle scenario---very creative work of fiction but I'll hold off on taking a long position in mud for now. But on a more serious note, is a tent erected by a "poor" person who can't afford "mud" treated as a temporary movable obstruction or an integral part of the course under the rules
Since this is Valentine"s day, I briefly considered letting you finally win one of these debates, since after all there is a first time for everything. Nah!
