Rick,
This is sad. It's not so sad that the offices are closing and that the government workers are going to be asked to take time off without pay, but it's sadder that something as serious as this has been allowed to fall into disarray.
If the civil rights leaders of yesteryear could see this now they would roll over in their graves. It saddens me that we spend a billion dollars a week giving equal rights to some other countries citizens, but we cannot even cut the red tape enough to give our own citizens equal rights.
This is the stuff that cooks my goose I tell you!
