even simpler is to make YOUR OWN game, and leave "them" to theirs.

methinks we have the means by which to do this, if we choose.

but your point remains, it's much more about "me" than "me and mines" --- that's "THEIR" way of playing....and since "THEY" have the cards, they'll continue to stay on top (as a group) even if a couple of us succed in becoming member of their team

but i digress.....
