I can't help but wonder, listening to the anti-muni parade, if a spontaneous conflagration of mankind and fiber would result from muni-BB becoming reality -- "The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppose." -- Frederick Douglass
That's what we used to call in debate class a straw-man argument.
Seeing where someone actually invests their money is a much more accurate measurement of where he/she stands on the issues than just listening to his/her statements. You can throw any debate-class tactic you want at what I said but it still stands true regardless.
