90. Isn't there a "BootStrap Stimulus Package" in there somewhere?
Or a "Hauling Yourself Up By Your ShortHairs Incentive"?

They should take a little field trip to Morehead KY where I taught at the University. It is quite a lesson in what happens when a people become disenfranchised and alienated from their goverment.

The courthouse was burned down repeatedly over the years. The National Guard was sent in several times to do battle with the well-armed and wiley locals. Most of the historical plaques relate to this uprising or that govt. building burning.

While I live in a more "civilized" part of Appalachia, I can tell you that even here, country folk don't take to the goverment. To the point of avoiding government services and to a certain extent anything that smacks of "Authority".

Any dog is considered domesticated until you starve him and give him a cruel and thoughtless master.
