In this post NOAC environment, this 3+ year old post might be apropos for some.
Bob McCanless has a Top Ten List on his blog of the Top Ten Ways to tell if your a patch collector. He is inviting everyone to add their ways to the list too.
10. If you’ve ever postponed paying a utility bill, in order to acquire a patch!
9. If you’ve ever watered down milk or baby food, in order to cover for a patch’s expense!
Been a while since Bob has posted, but you can find the rest here

“To say that the United States should be answerable for twenty-five millions of dollars without knowing whether the ways and means can be provided, and without knowing whether those who are to succeed us will think with us on the subject, would be rash and unjustifiable. Sir, in my opinion, it would be hazarding the public faith in a manner contrary to every idea of prudence.” –James Madison
