   I quote Erik Fair:

>      that such a budget is passed."  (asterisks mine)

Oho!  As Walt Kelly said, "We have met the enemy and he is us."  It seems to
me that Reagan made it pretty clear during the presidential campaign what
the basic nature of his budget was going to be.  The majority of the 
people voted for him (no mini-lectures about the electoral college, please;
the preceding statement is still true).  Those of you who voted against
him may at least legitimately disagree and complain publicly, though of
course you must also live with the fact that in the U.S., you have to go
with the majority decision.  Those of you who had the right to vote but
did not, and still write complaints about the budget to the net --
pardon me, but you are not very responsible citizens.
