Recent use of the "n" word with regard to our banking system reminds me of a most excellent Churchill anecdote...
Churchill, the leader of the Conservatives in Parliament, was standing at a urinal in the House of Commons lavatory answering nature's call...Clement Atlee, leader of the Labour Party (Socialists), walked into the same lavatory. Churchill, seeing Atlee, quickly moved to a urinal far away from his socialist foe...Atlee sneered, "Feeling a bit standoffish today Winston?" Churchill's priceless retort; "Everytime one of you socialists sees something really big, you want to nationalize it...."
True story...hat tip to the late great Churchill biographer William Manchester for providing that nugget of Tory wit...
