Nah, it was a perk of wealth because of the full faith and credit clause. Just like, when (clean) abortions are illegal, the rich can still send their daughters (and secretaries) to Switzerland for a nice, legal abortion. Being rich is really cool because you can enforce good morals in the poor without necessarily having to partake of them yourself. -- Lan Barnes SCM Analyst Linux Guy Tcl/Tk Enthusiast Biodiesel Brewer -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
