Re: [AlpacaTalk] Free Speech, again

Yes, the assumption is that all I do is sit and complain. "Don;t just
sit there and complain, Volunteer! Do something!"

I do volunteer with my affiliate. I was fleece show superintendent last
year, and if decisons are ever made on next year's show, I'll
superintend then, too. Anyone want to guess how many hours I've put
into next year's show already? Don't talk to me about budget, and
financials... I've been living it for over a month now.
