     You're right.  But consider this:  About three weeks ago, while
     my office mate was calling the White House to complain about
     their geo-political stance, I was calling 1-800-GET-COKE to 
     complain about the new coke.

     Results?  I got a free coupon for six bottles of coke and the
     satisfaction (this week) that my insignificant voice was heard.
     What impact do people who are alarmed about a political issue have?
     (Don't answer this, I know the answer already.  That is why I called
     up 1-800-GET-COKE....)
