I could have my buddy Tom, who does medical helicopter transport, give a 
talk. He can put in to perspective the reasons why big is good.  He can 
tell stories that will make you weep.  He calls me once in a while when 
he has a bad day (his wife can't listen any more)  His bad days usually 
involve kids and cars.

He once had a day when an ATV and a car met on a road,  2 kids under 12 
years old on the ATV, do I need to go on.

Sam.
