Do you want your survey to be representative of the turker population? If so, everyone has to be qual. I eagerly await your qual.

I'll be sure to put you on top of the wait list.

Ah okay, that makes sense. It's funny how the phrase "Taxation without representation" stands through time but I can't remember hearing of James Otis Jr ever. Either way, it's a cool fact. My thought process was going towards what Wikipedia calls "colonies in antiquity" ... which were city-states that apparently already sort of governed themselves when they were founded. I haven't had a history lesson in years (until now ).

Honestly I can't even imagine living that rurally, as much as I like to imagine living in VT or something. I really hope someone starts a program like that... cuts through the administrative... noise. Psych care is one of the most important things the VA should be providing and I hope they shape up for you and others who serve.

I'm flattered, & a sincere thank you from me for informing me of these things

"city-states..." I hadn't thought of it that way, but you're absolutely correct. You taught me something.

You might find "America at 1750: A Social Portrait" by Richard Hofstadter an interesting read. Maybe not. For instance, it's interesting how the America then was less [ formally ] religious the further south one went, contrary to what might be common wisdom.

"Taxation without representation" We tend to think that the revolution just sprang right up out of "whole cloth," but it didn't. It was something that took time to build to the point that parting with the mother country became ... inescapable. And everybody just hated to do it, but they (Washington, et al) eventually saw no recourse.

And, yes, the VA needs to get its house in order with regard to their mental care.

Vermont. When I was stationed at NSA, I fondly recall a trip "up north" in -- believe it or not -- my 1955 T-Bird -- and there, in some little valley that I came upon all by accident in Vermont was a store with the old soda-fountain-handle thingies, still pouring out their Coca-cola syrup. I would give a testicle to be back there. No, make that two testicles. No, make that three testicles.
