If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidise it.”<br /><br />Again, if only he had been able or willing to practice what he preached.Trooper Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01505221473081871071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357620132379563790.post-63556191545140490532011-07-05T11:25:57.969+01:002011-07-05T11:25:57.969+01:00I can agree with that.
