Even going a step further, how many people in the organization bemoan the government, but benefited from public schooling? How many are benefiting from Medicare? How many millions of letters have JW's sent out via the USPS in their "letter writing" campaigns? How many JW's go on road trips to conventions utilizing the federally built interstates? How many of them are proud to root for their home country when the summer and winter olympics come around? How many JW's have political leanings one way or the other that they discuss among themselves or among their worldly associates? How many JW's work for the government in some capacity, whether it's at local, state or federal level, and enjoy the benefits of it?

“When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy.' They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.”
