Boy Dave, your post really got to me. I come from a fairly long line of small business owners and have always been taught the value of hardwork, doing for yourself, and giving back to a system that make success possible. That anyone who is willing to put in the work, play by the rules, and treat people decently can succeed. So it pains me to hear you had so much of your work negated by the swipe of a pen for the swap of a vote. I have had my share of run-ins with the little bigmen of government.

I was never that involved politically till the late 90's as I began to see what I percieved to be a shift in the role of government from being an implement of the people to the people becoming an instrument of govenrnment. Gore's acceptance speech was the final straw for me.

I wish you well.

D.H.
