[Nfbf-l] Social Security

[Kirk Harmon]

to all reading this discussion, We can't forget that when one corresponds 
with the Government and the beuracratic machine, there will be times that we 
get lost in the shuffle, blind or sighted! So, before we jump to  the blind 
and ignored approach, why don't we  look at it like the sighted do at first? 
That is, perhaps it  is just another malfunction  of the great government 
machine , or incompetent Government employee, at it's best (worst). 
Sometimes things are just what they are, no prejudices intended! Just one 
man's thought. Kirk
