What I'd like to see among the list membership, much as I've been
disparaging it lately for doing nothing, is to see everybody send
letters to the editor of their local papers supporting the PAM.
Specifically comparing it to getting life insurance on your spouse is,
I think, a very effective means of forcing people to make a moral
comparison that they can comprehend, and I suggest everyone use it in
their letters.
Additionally, if you are feeling especially frisky, you might also send
letters supporting PAM to your congressmonsters and senators, using the
same analogy, and putting in a good word for Robin. Lets let them know
that we won't take this lying down, eh?
