Okay. So, no postings of the Federalist Papers -- considered the third most important document in the USA, after the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Because, after all, [almost?] all of it was written by anonymous authors. And anyway, all of 'em were known criminals and terrorists, "insurgents" who had organized armed attacks against "proper authority" [the previous King George] and murdered innocent troops. Certainly wouldn't want any of THOSE kinds of radicals posting on New Jersey's forums! How times change. --jim ------------------------------------- You are subscribed as [email protected] To manage your subscription, go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/?listname=ip Archives at: http://www.interesting-people.org/archives/interesting-people/
