Hello Blaine, and all,
I've always been an 'in your face' kind of guy
myself, even when I try to be otherwise, I've
found. Yes, there is power in numbers, definitely.
But there is also, as has been shown over and over
again throughout history, power in one voice, by
itself, in the right moments. We look back and
say, "Ah, but each of those were the 'right
moments.'" But each instance we can look back on,
was not the right moment until the speaker chose
to speak out and become a part of histiry, rather
than remain inconspicuous, merely watching history
be made by others.
Change is inevitable. Question is, will you make
the changes that affect your life? Or will you
continue letting others plot out your life's
course? Change is happening every day. Make it a
point, starting now, to influence those changes.

Hello All,
Less government is a good thing, IMO. But
understand clearly here, the "government" is only
making this (latest) rule because of the 'legal'
bribes, i.e., both current and promises of future
handouts by the big for-profit companies. That's
it, that's all, pure and simple.
If we truly gave a hoot and paid as much attention
to our political leaders guiding our lives, as the
companies did with guiding their profits, we'd
have more influence.
