One of the most lucid accounts thus far. This SS privatization debate will 
be studied by political scientists for decades; it is a classic case of 
clashing philosophies whereby the facts are distorted and fear is 
poll-tested to the sublime and everyone has a dog in the fight. This may be 
Karl Rove's ultimate test. He has won elections and started wars with a 
candidate largely considered average in intellect. Can he now dismantle the 
most honored social support system for seniors in the world? Social and 
political historians will write books about this, his ultimate war.
