A Brandywine tomato is the best I have ever tasted. I have had no luck
growing them, but that doesn't mean that heirlooms aren't delicious with
superb flavor and few seeds.

They are just very selective about conditions which is why less-fussy
hybrids have been produced.

I'm afraid that you've attributed to David Hare-Scott the statements of
that "bonehead" Balvenieman. You'll remember "Bonehead" Bal as the guy
who like "free market capitalism", because the beauty of "free market
capitalism" is that you don't have to understand how it works (a big
upside for someone dumber than dirt), because it corrects itself, so it
says. Oh, it is also known as Neo-liberalism, and the main points of
neo-liberalism include:

(1) Rule of the Market liberating free enterprise from any bond;
(2) Cutting public expenditure for social services;
(3) Deregulation or reduced government regulation of everything and
anything;
(4) Privatization and selling all state owned enterprises, goods and
services to private investors;
(5) Eliminate the concept of the public good or community and replacing
it with individual responsibility.

It is a favorite of the IMF, and the only thing that is wrong with it is
that it has never worked, NEVER.

Others, like the Editorial Staff at the New York Times, are less
enamored of it, and refer to it as "Casino Capitalism".

"The Securities and Exchange Commission has accused Goldman of
defrauding clients by selling them a complex instrument without telling
them it was designed so another client could bet against it. Testifying
before the Senate subcommittee on investigations, Goldman executives
denied withholding information. They insisted there was nothing wrong
with selling mortgage-backed products while placing bets against them.

They called it ³risk management.² Most people call it stacking the deck."

So when "Bonehead" Bal, tells you not to worry, you can bend over and
kiss it good-bye. His brains would, however, make excellent fertilizer.

It's OK David, I think we got it cleared up. Oh, and David, save me a
couple of marshmallows won't you?
