I don't expect to win. I do intend to learn. It's been very
difficult to glean much from this thread. There are nuggets
but it takes an enormous amount of energy to find them. My
usual screening procedures cannot be used in this thread.

Actually, the problem is property taxes doubling and then quadrupling
every four or five years. And we in Mass. passed a 2.5% cap. The
governor people just elected has promised to undo it.

young that that non-Muslims are baby eaters. And now
