Hi Bill,
1/ Thank you for listening. :-)

2/ It has absolutely nothing to do with being a coward!  But all about KISS!
    Basically "common sense and simple logic!" Don't step in the crap and 
create more, best to avoid it! And figure out how to get around the 
situation and still win!

Sometimes laws made 200-300 years ago were great for common sense logic of 
survival of the day!! Today? They create more grief because world 
populations and society have changed. However the laws have not been 
modified to fit life changes and the advancement in the myriads of other 
modern day requirements.

Bottom-line? If you can avoid a hassle by being quiet, kiss simple and 
moving along?

YET STILL BE SUCCESSFUL IN YOUR GOAL? Go for it!

As the bombastic loud mouth makes for great media coverage...... but get's 
one no where! Oh maybe for a short while. But eventually they shoot 
themselves in the foot by stepping in the crap too often, they eventually 
get caught.

It's still the KISS philosophy! :-) Oh yes and makes far better Leica 
photographic moments! ;-)

cheers,
Dr. ted :-)
