I think about this every time I hear some bonehead ask if I want government to run healthcare or other services like they do the dmv. I'd gladly renew my license once a month for the rest of my life if I never had to talk to Blue Cross or Comcast again.

When i worked at a nonprofit we asked our attorney to help us understand the legal difference between advocacy and lobbying. Supporting or opposing particular bills was one of the activities she said was lobbying. What did Fine get wrong?
