I will remind all and sundry that the three most useless phrases in the
English language are "could've", "should've", and "would've",since they
are all variations of reality denial. Following that, the most useless
words are "could", "should", and "would", since they are all variations
of wish petitioning or impotent opnionizing, unless one has direct power
to follow through on them immediately. The ONLY thing that counts is
what is happening RIGHT NOW! 

Other root-zones exist, with various flavors of success and
implementation completion, right now. Wishing them away, won't make them
go away. One must look at, and appreciate, the reality that caused them
to exist in the first place.

If you believe that the Alt.roots should not be created then stop them
now, or quit your complaining, don't use them, or ignore them. Impotent
venting of opinion is what we've had entirely too much of, these past
four years.
