In the "war" to gain universal recognition for the Dvorak keyboard we 
have reached a "critical mass."  Just as in Nuclear Fusion once the 
Uranium is enough to make the explosion all that is needed is 
something to ignite it.  In Bombs that something is usually a smaller 
bomb.  We have such a potential bomb in the fight to make Dvorak the 
International Standard.  Thet potential bomb is what is happening in 
the case of "standardized tests" as posted in the post "Dvorak on the 
GRE." 

Why I say that it has the potential of a nuclear bomb is that as we 
all know or should know, Dvorak is built-in to every Windows 
Operating System and has been since Windows 3.1.  So as soon as we 
get an igniter there can be almost instant and universal conversion 
of all Computers.  (The problem of small B.S. appliances not 
withstanding).  

So then what is our igniter?  A presidential decree or Congressional 
resoolution.  And in the 2009 conversion to HDTV we have a 
precedent.  To my knewledge outside of some automobile related 
legislation and presidential decrees nothing as comprehensive has 
ever been legislated in the U.S.  (Remember Ronald Reagan's decree 
about the third tail-light on cars)?

So what we have is a product that is about to explode at the right 
time to recue us from curtain financial ruin as a nation and if done 
right can play an important part in the "salvation" of our entire 
economic system.  At such a point in time a slogan is needed to rally 
the forces.  I have as a result of my last post come up with one that 
I think is pretty good.  Please let me know what you think and add 
subtract or come up with your own.  Here goes:

"Dvorak users of the world unite: You gotta fight for your right to 
type right."
