Re: npr report

This is a *wonderful* analogy. Imagine if one could not buy a set of locks for their house w/o buying the government lock-box to go beside the front door.

It's an even better analogy (for me) because of the experience I had a year ago with a house I was renting. The owner had put it up for sale, so a lockbox was installed on the garage door. One day I came home and noticed that the box was open, and the key inside was missing. Gave me a real warm and fuzzy feeling. One of the really nice things about now owning a house (vs renting) is that I can change the locks whenever I please and I don't have to give a copy to *anybody*... Phil
