Surely we must all share part of the blame for their present predicament. As you imply, the foundation of this country is based on freedom that is now very much in jeopardy. Huge sacrifices have been made (and continue to be made -- just look at the headlines) so that we may have the opportunity to experience freedom. If we, as individuals, are not willing to remain vigilant, become politically active, and take an occasional risk for the sake of our personal liberty then our freedom will continue to erode. Physicians must do their part along side the rest of us. Roger
