It's the whole Animal Farm thing - we'll all be equal, but some people would be more equal than others. It will be a cold day in January when the federal government gives up its inherent advantage. Sort of like the tin whiskers thing - it's good for the rest of you, but for stuff we think really matters - like the military - we'll exempt ourselves. Also sort of like Al Gore and environmentalism: it's good for the rest of you to reduce your impact, but I'll live in a 10,000 square foot house and tour around with an entourage, ignoring public transportation. I can't imagine a universe in which Ted Kennedy waits in line like everyone else to get medical care. #3 has been on my mind recently.
