You know though, having worked for 39 years in a field where the pay isn't (shall we say?) equivalent to the education needed and which is pretty much looked at as a "nice thing to have but not a necessity"; having served my country in the Infantry and having to fight the gummint for certain health issues related to that service; having recycled everything possible for the last forty or so years; having driven and still drive small, fuel-efficient cars; having lived within my means my whole life, I just gotta say:

WHY ME?? Why not one of the drivers of the gas-guzzling SUVs who blithely litter and live on their credit cards, selling people crap they don't need and have to go into debt to afford? I'm getting awful sick of being the responsible citizen...and the Revolution will not be telegraphed!
