So would I. But I'll be damned if I'll sit back and let them fix it by
breaking the promise I was made in 1947 when I got an SS card so I
could go to work the first time. If they can do it without upsetting
the systems results, then I'm pretty much all for it.

so, but thats changing the subject and certainly not germain to this
