You also have the right to filter them out and not listen to them
or to move to a moderated forum. If you choose to do neither you
have to accept the downside of such a decision. Wow, imagine that,
people accepting the concequences of their decisions. Maybe a
revolution in the works!

You have a much higher opinion of humanity than I if you actually
believe that last thing!

Sadly I don't. The gov't in the U.S. (and most of the world) seems to
be almost actively trying to make us dependant on the gov'ts teat. The
concepts of accepting consequences and being responsible for your own
fate seems to be dying in favor of utter dependency on elected
officials for our human needs. The fact that officials who create
programs to protect and provide for us are considered heroes really
frightens me. Officals who make it easy for us to protect and provide
for ourselves are despised..


Well, I think you're on to somethign, but I don't think it's the goverment
that's doing it. I think you're looking at the problem the wrong way
around....
