I am only peripherally aware of Aires' many accomplishments but like all activists, he's vulnerable and will invariably and inadvertently back horses that aren't going to win or have a nail in their hooves to begin with. It is ofcourse a telling state of our democracy that so much activism by the common man is required to keep our polity in check. The mark of a functioning democracy is that such work is done by the elected representatives themselves. take care, selma ____________________________________________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
