this is hypocrisy. having a principle which is so hard to live up to that it requires a special exemption for the sake of convenience is pointless. either the principle is valid or it is not. there is no ethical middle ground which says the principle is valid but we should just ignore it because it's inconvenient right now. either the current wording of the SC is right, in which case we should follow it; or it is wrong, in which case it should be reverted to the old wording which wasn't so impractical and incovenient. craig -- craig sanders <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The next time you vote, remember that "Regime change begins at home" -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
