That was a good one, Don. You in fact, have highlighted the main reason
that I don't like liberal thought patterns in general. Almost invariably, a
liberal do-gooder wants to implement a marvelous scheme that will no doubt
do a lot of good for his pet social problem. Unfortunately, this type
rarely thinks enough of the problem to put his own money on it ... he wants
to force me, via taxation, to fund his pet problem.
