I agree that the SSA is worth saving and will continue to support it.
But, If some one decides otherwise, I doubt if I could mount an
effective defense.


I think that it simply comes down to the choice between living in the
past and looking toward the future. Some continually choose the former
-- who knows why?

The selection of officers and regional reps must in the future be done
with a view toward keeping plenty of daylight on the workings of the
organization, having learned from the hard lessons of the past. But,
always, moving toward a better future.

With all this ranting, I may have to write another check just to let off
some steam. Ah, but here is a better way to do it -- online:
