Subject: Proposed Regulation FD

Sirs:
     
We have thousands (if not hundreds of thousands) of laws passed, all to enforce 
and form the foundation of one common desire of the general public:  Treat other
people and their possessions with respect and consideration.
     
Allowing selective disclosure of information violates that common desire of 
every individual even if there isn't a law to prevent it.  No one would support 
such a practice except for those who profit by it and who would be seen as 
violators.  Hence, the sense of outrage at the practice.
     
There should be no argument as to whether selective disclosure should be 
prevented.  Its a no-brainer.  Since the companies on Wall Street depend on the 
general public for their funds, the general public should be allowed access to 
information about those companies without having to play catch-up with the 
insiders!  This leaves the public forever racing down the tracks tying to catch 
a train that has already left the station.  
     
David F. May
