Ah, yes, I see now. At least in theory. :-)

Well, I wanted to learn something - at an object that looked

Are you willing to spend time studying the issues,
making yourself aware, and then conveying that information
to family and friends? Will you resist the temptation
to get a government handout for your community?
Realize that the doctor's fight against socialized medicine is your fight.
We can't socialize the doctors without socializing the patients.
Recognize that government invasion of public power
is eventually an assault upon your own business.
If some among you fear taking a stand because you are afraid
of reprisals from customers, clients, or even government,
recognize that you are just feeding the crocodile hoping he'll eat you last.
