No. I think this economic plan is--I think it does because if you publicize something like that and people don't know, for example, on my haircut, that I asked whether anybody would be held up or inconvenienced, and I was told no.

So, you know, if something like that happens and it hurts me on a day-to-day basis, it may slow things up. But the real problem is, if these problems were easy, somebody else would have done them.
