Very sad, my condolences to his family. He was an interesting guy and I learned a lot from his postings. I'm glad he's at peace.

Laws, the tax code, economic policies are all tools used by those in power for their desired ends.

As long as we rail against the tools we'll never solve the actual problem.

Acceptance of social engineering is the problem.

We talked about it in IMs. He didn't go into detail about it other than chemo interfering with his enjoyment of good beer.

He never complained about pain, surgery or chemo side effects.

I promised him I'd ship him a couple bottles from a local brewery the next time I made it over there.

I never made it over there.

Too many folks with familiar names passing on.

May you rest in peace, John.
