Either more folks have to get involved -- at sometimes great personal cost -- or we'll all have to be willing to pay more money somewhere along the line. OK. That's the end of my rant for today.

If the people who complain about the classes and the articles would volunteer to teach one class, even at the local level, or write one article, even for their chapter's newsletter, they would realize the time and money involved, and appreciate what they are getting for virtually nothing.
