This is also in Schulman's Stopping Power (Synapse-Centurion, Santa Monica, CA, 1994, http://www.synapse-centurion.com/) at page 153. It is preceded (page 151) by an interview with the same Mr. Brocki in which Brocki parses the sentence, "A well schooled electorate, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and read Books, shall not be infringed." My testbed version for use in California is, "A mobile population, being necessary to the prosperity of a high tech State, the right of the people to keep and drive Automobiles, shall not be infringed." It would make an interesting ballot initiative. -- Charles Curley /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Looking for fine software \ / Respect for open standards and/or writing?
