Hardly complex.  It took me a few minutes to lay out the labels (mostly
placing a couple of images properly).  When I ran out of some old ``Neato''
labels that had 3 per sheet, and the next batch had 2, it took be less than
a minute to create new templates.  When I need labels, I just type one
command with the text to put on the labels, and they print immediately.

``Democracy extends the sphere of individual freedom,  Democracy attaches
all possible value to each man, while socialism makes each man a mere
agent, a mere number. Democracy and socialism have nothing in common but
one word: equality. But notice the difference: while democracy seeks
equality in liberty, socialism seeks equality in restraint and servitude.''
   de Tocqueville == 1848
