Nope. Lockheed, Northrop-Grumman, and even Gulfstream and Cessna are
free to submit bids also. Its restricting military contracting to US
companies, and I have no problem with that.

Sure there would be. That's the whole point of creating the "new class
of civil union." "Duh" is the only appropriate response.

Um, I get to pick my doctor here, well, my wife did (in fact, my doctor
is a very attractive woman!). I pick which hospital I go to (I pick the
closest, normally because it is only three blocks away). I consult my
doctor as to which specialist I should see if I need it, and she sets it up.
Where do you get the idea that we get shoved where the "government"
wants us to go?
In small communities, there may be only one choice, but that is because
there is not enough sickness to go around |>) or because doctors don't
want to live in small communities!
