Note to Dear Leader

I won't be "ruled". I won't meet your requirement (now apparently being rethought) to volunteer other than what I already freely choose to do. I won't offer my hard-earned (laughably modest) wealth up for distribution. Frankly, I just might hide under my desk for four to eight years and limit my productivity. But...I will promise you one thing. I will stay informed. I will closely and dispassionately analyze what your leadership and policy enactments mean for me, and should you not measure up, I will vote for an alternative in 2012. After all, you work for me.
