- Hey, Tim and Melinda: wake up && smell the deficit. Most people
- are motivated by far more prosaic concerns these days - the
- economy, the deficit, mass starvations, mass genocide. If you
- want to compete for mindspace, you gotta compete against those concerns.
-
- If I said "anyone", my mistake: I should have said, "the majority
- of people." If you dispute this, whip out your Gallup Poll!
