This is another odd behavior I've seen from people terrified of change....they'll strut around with their chest stuck out, acting as if they actually know something about the change they're avoiding...and yet, when pressed, have nothing but vague assertions like "well, I heard about a guy who left Canada because...." BAH's twist, of projecting the problems of the current system onto any potential replacement, is a new one on me.... There really are a very large number of people in the US that are terrified of change. Eric Lucas
