  1. Thank you. Very interesting. But this is only true for right-handed people I presume. Very politically incorrect. :)

  2. No, this is completely unsolicited. There has been a change in tone. I am simply responding to that.

    Magna, as promised, has been as hands off as Joe was.

    Murray I think Reagan was not joking when he said it was not him that changed but the party.

    Classical liberals favored big constitutional rights and freedoms like Reagan and non establishment non neo con republicans.

    Now we have big govt crony loving drone wanting left and big govt crony loving right.
