Well, you're a real bleeding heart dreamer but variety is the spice of life. Personally I believe government should ONLY spend our money on effective programs as defined as those with transparent well-defined goals, milestones, and measures which have consequences for a miss - usually the halt and defunding of the program or project. Iraq, by that definition, is the worst type of failed big-government program I can think of. But someone has to love government to balance out those of us who hate it. Also your pollyannish vision reminds me of one thing: Blago's speech today. Now granted you didn't quote a British Poet, so he's got that flourish on you, but otherwise I think you're competitive. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:284439 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
