Agree, BUT, if its out of our control to do that.......then the point I am making is that we have a new service which can almost fill the gap and we should make good use of them.

| Because he perceives them as another aspect of "big government" ? Apart from their good uses, look at the down-side of the provision of their "services". Another organisation that needs funding and resources. You are right, this is all about peoples perception and more so, those... |
