Unfortunately it was more show than go as a revolution. Cardinal Jaime Sin, one of the prime movers, when referring to EDSA 1, which was the Filipino "people power" movement that ousted Ferdinand Marcos, said, "We got rid of Ali Baba but we kept the forty thieves." Not that much really changed for the ordinary person. BobLQ -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
