Hmm. Any of the "us" that doesn't exist?
I'll be glad to speak to you , one on one, whenever that happens.
I see no reason to tilt at the "capitalism is the only accepted form
of spontaneous order" windmill.

Good luck. May your life serve you.
Speaking only for myself, I'd say that sanity is like courage:
you can never be entirely sure you have it, and you
can never be entirely sure that it's utterly gone.
