Jow,

While I strongly believe that you took Saul's initial response to 'admirable' KB out of context, your lines above, however, should be the guiding principle for all. Now, I am saying this NOT because you went to M.I.T (I could have gone there myself if I had the opportunity; we were class mates from forms one at SAHS to upper six at GHS, LOL), but because I believe it is apt. Indeed your dear mother is a very respectful lady. I can attest to this during my days in the Sixth form @ GHS ('86-88). I am therefore appealing to our able Saul Khan
to at least leave my principal out of the picture. So to Saul I say: Saul, I am a keen reader of your many writings on the -L and please let go.

Realize that a doctor's fight against socialized medicine is your fight.  We can't socialize the doctors without socializing the patients.  Recognize that government invasion of public power is eventually an assault upon your own business. If some of you fear taking a stand because you are afraid of reprisals from customers, clients, or even government, recognize that you are just feeding the crocodile hoping he'll eat you last.
