First of all, Gerald. Pragmatist is not necessarily a naughty word. For  
those that are unaware, it means to think and act practically. It's a  philosophy. 
Heaven forbid if we were to start thinking in practical  terms. We may 
actually be able to raise our tax base high enough to add to  the police force. That 
would lead to less mischief in the evenings, and what in  the world would the 
Sunday morning strollers do with fewer and fewer condoms to  collect as a 
result?
 
Secondly, just who or whom are you calling out as pragmatists, hucksters  and 
opportunists? Who exactly is out to belittle devalue and crush our dreams?  
Would that be the Spiropoulos' particularly, or just us "upscale folks" in  
general?
 
If you are going to insult, then at least let us know who you are  insulting. 
 
Ambiguity and fear mongering only leads to mistrust and discredit.
