it. Or in thinking or analyzing an issue, the process may be
sidetracked onto another unintended path that does create jobs or
wealth.



Yes...but if Rupert Murdoch ever realizes that he has done writing for
Fox without the implicit intention of making a quick buck at it, he will
immediately fire him on general principles- as such an approach could
deal a death blow to all that Citizen Murdoch holds dear in the world...
and could only be the far-left-leaning work of a deviated prevert pixie
out to start some sort of deviated prevert pixie mutiny.
