Another Helpful Soul

My latest battle for sanity appears to be with a pseudo government branch called Right Relations, Inc. This is where you go if you are in the middle of a divorce dispute and they want to punish you into submission. That is to say, they think it will be helpful in your day to day relationships. I am not allowed to record anything while I am in there. I am not allowed to make any notes, and, even though this is America, I am not allowed to discuss anything that is said in there. As if the world is waiting with bated breath to hear what a bunch of people arm twisted into a class have to say. I finally head from Congressman Souder's office. I hope that I can get him involved in finding the bottom line for this Right Relations, Inc. I just want to know where the money is going, and how they got to be in such a position of authority. This is America, right? We should have the right to ask any question like this that we want to and get an answer reasonably soon, don't you think? I calculate this "branch" of local government is making $400-$800 dollars a week in tax free money. That's a nice little fund raiser for any county government, don't you think? I wouldn't mind making that kind of money for an hour's time, anyway. But before I get off on another rant, let me just say that I am thankful to all of the people who have sent me emails to offer encouragement. It helps to make up for the crank pots who have managed to master their keyboards. If Mark Souder's office is the least bit helpful with this latest round of bureaucracy, I'll let you know. If they aren't, I'll let you know that also. Either way, you can thank me later.
