    TBO,

    It's a tad different offering an opinion, which I do. And telling me that I need to write a plan on a message board that would fix the economy. It's really silly to ask for the kind of broad scope answer that would require. Besides that, we all know that we have wildly differentiating views on this .. so by even attempting to sit here for 45 minutes writing out my thoughts, it would likely cause an onslaught of negative reply, which I would feel obligated to answer. Quite simply, I don't feel like putting forth the commitment in time it would take to actually play this game. And we should really all take a little stock in the fact, and I'm not trying to belittle anyone because obviously I'm here and involved as well, that we are graphic designers and not political analysts. We could spend 20 lifetimes here debating and never causing anyone feel enlightened by our difference in opinion. It really is a waste of time when you have other things to do, although completely addicting and interesting, still, it's a waste of time. Again, I'm not belittling anyone's participation here. There are many positives that come of this style of debate and exchange of ideas, so I'm not saying that this isn't important, it's just that by 'offering an alternative' requires hours of time spent which I really don't want to get into. What I can accomplish today by not replying has much more of an effect on my life than the enjoyment I'd get 'offering an alternative.' Cheers.
