X, <<you think giving people back their tax dollars is going to make them want to tackle the truly needy?>> No. I think my dollars are my dollars. Except now they're the government's. Possession is 9/10ths of the law, or something like that. What I said was that I have no interest in the government insulating me from the needy. <<although I guess you want to be neither responsible (by volunteering) nor do you want to assist with your tax dollars>> Are they my only two choices? And in point of fact, my tax dollars are being used the way you want. You've won already. That's what gets me about the government. After taking so much from me, they still want me to volunteer. Sorry, I'm a little strapped for time making up the deficit they've created. Skipper
