Dear Fred,

Thank you for sharing your insightful analysis of the differences between
military and civilian communities. It gives us some clear examples.

You concluded with:
"In closing, I have often wondered what to do about this situation. The
only idea I've had is ties to the fact that most corporations in the
United States receive their charters from the Secretary of State of one of
the states (there are some federal corporations but they are few in number
and special purpose). So, were I the Secretary of State of some state and
someone came to me with papers of incorporation, I would say in reply:
"Let me see your corporation's constitution." Indeed, I would change the
process by which corporations are incorporated to required a constitution.
Ah, but that takes us off into politics, doesn't it? I guess there is a
"real world" out there after all.
"

I hope you once will be the Secretary of State :-)
And if so, please remind At's contribution on this issue - try to
formulate the rules, laws, and regulations in a positive way.

I am very sure of the positive results of the learning in your State.
