No doubt. But if I'm pig headed, that's just a fact about me. If I persuade a lot of others to go along, our pig-headedness may be a religion. Actually one reason I don't call myself a Marxist is that the shrinking number of adherents increasingly resemble a threatened cult; this is a minor point, but it is a question of whom one wants to to be associated with. 20 years ago there was more diversity and openmindedness. jks _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp.
