If "many" means "a significant fraction", then you are, as usual, inventing anti-American "facts." John

The belief that other people are just reacting to what we do, not acting on their own plans and ideas, is touching, but not anchored in reality. It is a pleasant belief, no doubt, since it presents us with the illusion of control, with the sense that ultimately all that's happening depends only on what we do, thus we just have to find the proper mode of behavior and everything will be great. A pleasant illusion, but no more than this. Mati Meron | "When you argue with a fool, meron(a)cars.uchicago.edu | chances are he is doing just the same"
