I would love dividends.  But not at the expense of the company's future.  We want to move away from depending solely on TPL and the MMP liscences. 

1Rare1's post helped depict the pressure from S&L to empty Patriot's  bank account on dividends.

My hope is that Turley and new board members will stand strong for the company and not bow down to strong interest groups.  IMO, cancelling the dividend plan was a step in the right direction. 

P.S.      Would you work $1 a year?  Especially if you had a family to support.
