So, what you are saying is that you, or other people, are too gutless to take responsibility, and that you wish to use the force of government to do what you are unwilling to do. How quaint! What you conveniently ignored was the tongue in cheek manner in which the entire article was written. Where is your sense of humor?

But, on the serious side, the main points I wanted to get across were:

1- The possibilities of this and other programs being used in the wrong way, i.e. for political manipulation, someone vindictive or maliciousness etc.

2- The indoctrination factor (government schools)

3- More intrusive and expensive government

4- The propensity of moving closer and closer to fascism.

I am quite sorry you did not get the true intent of my piece, but only dwelled on the minutiae.

Sincerely,
Michael Bragg
