Well like DUH, Brenner, the rest of the world pretty much shot it's ass
off, the US was top dog till they put it back on straight.  The arrogance
of the Big Cigars over their success and business acumen during this period
has always seemed a sick joke to me.  The opportunity that was squandered
was criminal.

lYou know, I was just going to comment on the role that racism had in
keeping the rubes distracted, and it struck me that the civil rights
movement couldn't have come at a better time for The Big Cigars. Keep the
whites all stirred up.
(It could happen!)

Anyway, I don't know who this Brenner is, I thought he was one of the dead
guys, but he sounds stupid enough to be real famous and influentia;l.

Thanks Bill, good nut-shell. By jove I think I've got it.

Playin' in the dirt again...
