This is a good example of threads moving in directions we don't think about. We try to put together something that defines borders and ground rules and it sometimes does not work.
To nitpick over what one thinks that spelling of one's name is when it's acceptable to use both.
Occam's Razor
and William of Ockham, of which looking for property in the same land area of Surrey is still spelled Ockham
Try asking for directions to Munich, Germany or Vienna, Austria and you'll be looked at with puzzled looks from the locals that you are asking since it's München, Germany and Vien (pronounced Wine,) Austria.
What I see from the simple back and forth in this thread is that sometimes we cannot see the forest for the tree standing in front of us.
Having seen the family live under the Marcos Regime by an elected democratic process that turned into a dictatorship. I can see how power can be abused. Kings and Sultans of Asia make me realize that we at least can see change within our lifetimes, versus having to survive under tyranny.
I see the US Government as basically good, wanting to do the right things but having many agendas to appease, thus ending up really appeasing none. I like to help people with what money I can and I'll freely give it up what I will not tolerate is them sticking their hands into my pockets.
