“It is very simple.” And even more simplistic. I enjoy Ms. Goodmsn’s columns, but come now: we should demonstrate “will” and “power” by what, closing all but one market and one restaurant per million people? Tongue planted firmly in cheek.
An even better article on the subject, I believe, is that written last week by Kathleen Parker, entitled EAT, DRINK, AND SUE. You can read it from conservative.com and look for Kathleen Parker under Columnists.
Interesting that a liberal and a conservative can agree once in a while.
