   lol, that's true, too, re paranoia .  Guess that's why I've   
   always been attracted to the Amish lifestyle all these decades even   
   though the religion angle kind of always frightened me a little.   
   Well, I don't trust government at all anymore, either, and the   
   religious aspect just isn't a problem anymore, too.  God-fearing   
   people who are good and righteous just aren't going to be the ones out   
   there creating problems, they'll be more into the defending and   
   keeping the faith.  But those paranoids, yikes!
