   What is it that sets software people apart from doctors, lawyers, chartered
   accountants, etc (besides the difference in incomes)? 

Nothing other than time.  Eventually software development will be just
as regulated as the other professions.  There's nothing mystical about
software.  I know a few amateur law hackers and they are no different
than computer hackers.

It's a shame the government has to meddle in everyone's business just
so they can steal a piece of the pie.

Vote Libertarian in '92.
