We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.
I am reminded of my father having upstairs and downstairs fireplaces installed on the house he and my mother had purchased three years earlier for $8,000. Which is a far cry from $50 million.
They are worth whatever someone will pay for them. I rather doubt that working fireplaces have much to do with their value.
