		<description>I was just thinking on this very subject today when we received our renewal insurance form( which is government ruled here in Cranbrook). The pros and cons of it would be yes, you could fill the form out online therefore saving time, gas, ect. and not to mention the conveinence.  Being we, taxpayers, are paying for the building space, move the clerks to home offices again saving gas emmisions spewed from the office workers comute. Then again we live in a capitalist system where you close the office down, delegate  the jobs to fewer workers sends people to the unemployment line.  Maybe we can use the empty office buildings to house the homeless  We can hope to keep the cost of the high levels of government spending down. Everything else is small fries.  When we have seen a difference there we will begin to see a change in our economy and deficet  Perhaps we (the government) would be able to lower taxes. Wouldn`t that make a difference in peoples lives.</description>
