Adey, after many years in the Gulf I have observed that the powers-that-be over-react to ANY complaint whether it be from conservative forces or another source. There's just something visceral, it seems, about criticism that evokes a knee-jerk response around here. I believe this is why we see such pendulum swings in policy that make no sense on the surface. I would welcome more considered responses from the decision-makers. Sigh.
