RE: To Gerry Shea: Can you defend the Clinton Plan?

Jason Hyams, you done good!  Glad to see that the unfairness and inequity 
of the "opted out" crowd is not coming from one of us greedy geezer 
types, but someone who has looked down the road and seen the future which 
he doesn't much care for.  Starting early is the key to any successful 
project, and the input of minds not yet losing cells rapidly is a step in 
the right direction.  I'm a critic and cynic of governmental 
machination, which is plain to see, but Old Age Survivor Insurance folk 
lorists and their brethern in all those agencies made me that way.  A 
cynic is made, not born, and I appreciate the positive thinkers this 
dialogue has presented.
