Your calm replies raise the bar on the discussion of things that effect us all. <soapbox> I hold that there are two models of government that people carry in their minds: The Government as Parent (Father/MotherLand) and The Government as Beloved Child. Under the first, we obey because... Under the second, our love is no less. But the Child must be restrained from doing anything rash = would hurt self/others. And, remember always. The Bottom Line is really in the first line... We The People... Meaning the buck stops with all of us, folks. </soapbox> <!--new html tags for rant mode> Percy in Portland ================================================================== TO UNSUBSCRIBE go to: http://ercoupers.com/lists.htm
