Seriously DF, have you ever considered getting a PoliSci degree and running for office? Start out local and rise! My oldest son did this and won his second election...oh and he's a conservative - he was raised right of course ;) From the time my sons were babies I'd take them into the voting booth with me and let them see me vote and let them wear my "I voted" sticker. They also went with me to the local campaign HQ to pick up yard signs and bumper stickers and meet people. As the Bible says, "Train up a child RIGHT and when he is old he will not depart from it" heh.
That is good. When we go to our local medical center there isalways at least one of the nurses or receptionist that spends 10-15 minutes trying to convince us that signing up for medical aid/welfare because we don't have insurance. We pay for our medical care and prescriptions, and they have a major problem with that.
Your entry will be held for review before publication and may be rejected. Understand that I moderate as time permits, so publication will be delayed for a random thus unpredictable amount of time: between seconds to hours—or even days at worst.
Persona
An email address is required, but will not be published.
You cannot subscribe to notifications of follow-up comments.
You cannot set your own avatar, name and location: generic versions of these will be published with your comment.
You cannot contact members via private messages and access their public profiles.
Posting
Your comment cannot exceed 300 characters.
You can only write plain text. To create paragraphs, press Enter twice (while the textbox has the focus, otherwise pressing Enter will post the comment)
All HTML tags will be stripped upon posting your comment, as will anything that even remotely looks like a URL.
Hey now! The tags stripping & links munching little helpers (let's call them Muncher and Stripper and not mind how wrong that sounds) are ferocious. I bred them that way. If you receive a nasty validation error or half your comment vanishes, something has triggered them, and they answer with full aggression, not 'micro' ones. Try and reformulate your text to appease them (for instance, beware of copy/pasting from Word or another web page). Use the preview to confirm you pass by Muncher and Stripper unmolested (now that didn't sound any better)
Stripper (oh dear, oh dear) will put a ✂ in place of anything that looks like a link—and he has about half the subtlety of a bombing raid over Dresden. (but makes for it with twice the hostility) Do.use.the.preview, even if you don't think you've inserted a link, for he may disagree and he's not open to negotiation.
You cannot edit your entry once submitted. Use the preview before posting. Really.

*I should add, I paraphrased the above verse, it actually says, "Train up a child in the way he should go..."

Go figure.
