 I rather
 doubt if Angela Merkel could have snuffed a candle if it was
 a profitable enterprise. The plants went quietly into the
 dark night because most of the operators were happy to get
 rid of them.

 As in any other

 Here, we agree.

 Heh. Yeah. Because the mainstream right

 adults...

Well, TML posters, along w/ everyone else, are just as likely to "say a lot of things".
It's the nature of the beast.

Political honchos have and will continue to 'snuff candles' for reasons that make no sense at all except to them.

I don't think the operators really had any say in it, other than requesting a 'payoff' of some sorts to pretend to acquiesce.
