You know Jim, I think you just hit on what irks the
socialist/leftist/liberal types so much -- the fact that they
just aren't patient enough to let the system change and balance
itself. Of course I also think there's some intellectual
arrogance and power envy involved too. The type of people who
wish to force change (their way) and control other's destiny are
exactly the types that fill our elected and appointed government
posts. The rest of us are too busy taking care of ourselves and
trying to be self-sufficient... ;-)
