Folks, enough is enough.  I do not want to be told what I must do in order to hold on to what I have already earned.  I did my schooling and paid for it.  I did my Intern Development Program and received very little pay.  I passed my Architectural Licensing Exams and had to pay an abusive amout just for the priviledge of sitting in.  I became NCARB certified and must now pay a yearly token just for the priviledge of having someone hold on to my records.  I registered in the state where I live, and again, I paid for that priviledge.  I pay all my required dues at the price that you impose.  All this so my Family and me can have a dignified living.  Yet that is not enough.  Now you (the state) want me to spend my hard earned money on attending a "training seminar"  to listen to a small time charlatan convey his/her experiences because that will add to my credibility, to my knowledge, to my experience, eventhough you are not quite sure what needs to be taught, just something that will keep me abreast.  Please, who are you trying to kid.  Is it money that you want?  Do you want to take my hard earned money?  Are you bored in Richmond?, can't think of anyhting more productive to do?, do you need to justify your existance?  Why don't you just tell me how much you want, I'll just give it to you.  I'm too busy trying to make a living to argue, but I am still free to express what I think - or at least I hope.
