Interesting,

I feel the same way actually, and sometimes I just feel like educated the
people I come in contact with and leaving Big Brother out of it all together
as they don't seem that interested in really giving people the true facts.

That was a generalization ;)

<<Now this seems like a better idea.  A public school is a local entity; it's
small enough that a single concerned parent, or a small number, could get
the ear of an administrator and make a real difference.>>

I've thought of this as well.  Maybe I'll go the local route, and let it
spread, as that seems where I'm most effective anyway, dealing one on one with
people...

Thanks...
