Damn right you are, you are paranoid that you will need those items and
not have them. I'm
the same way. Most people with their heads on straight consider that
being responsible

to government
to make it all better when they take risky choices.

Paranoia, in a parellel case to what's being discussed, would be some
legislator talking about US certifications for school fire extinguishers and
you see a conspiracy to keep your district from buying theirs over the
Internet from Myanmar.

You don't even know what's in the proposal, Wes. Nobody does...because it
hasn't been written yet.


Maybe not, but he has his villain identified for sure!

I'm leaning more towards #2
