I would like to read this. Anyone have the text available?

Scott-
PM me your email address and I can send you a copy. It's a fairly typical, boring read.

The overall answer is no, and at one point the author compares educating optometrists to handing a loaded gun to a child.

Well, as a firearm enthusiast, I plan on handing loaded guns to my children, and doing so frequently. ;)

So, with the proper training and supervision, they should do well... so with the OMDs as our 'parents' we'd be fine too, right? :eek:
