By the way, I have a difficult time hearing and I may miss some of Harry's comments or misunderstand them and try to answer them as I think they are.
Sometimes having a hearing impairment is very good. It gets you closer to the truth. For example, during the first few days of Bush's triumph in Iraq, we heard the phrase "embedded journalists", "embedded journalists" continuously. But to my ear it comes out "in bed with journalists."
