Jim, I live in England. Here, all sorts of people throw queenie fits,
starting with the Queen. Portugese waiters do it (and waiters of all
nationalities). Mostly actors do it. That is what they are famous for.
Probably gay people do it less than the rest of us; they're probably more
worked out.

You don't like to be baited and neither do I. I have a history of supporting
gay causes and issues going back to the 1960s, when to be gay was illegal
and the subject was a taboo-covered perversion. So don't try to hang that on
me, it is utterly absurd as anyone who knows me, knows. England is not
America. Language usage is different.

Keep talking economics, it's what you're good at. If I have offended you I
am heartily sorry. It gave you an excuse to avoid debate.
