I don't get the "spineless" claim. I mean, Pete even dares to disagree with me from time to time. ;) For example, he made impassioned (albeit not very persuasive) cases for socialism not too long ago. :) I respect Pete because his views are a fairly unique mix of pride, prejudice and personal reflection----he does not take very many popular positions, actually. - Publius "It ought never to be forgotten, that a firm union of this country, under an efficient government, will probably be an increasing object of jealousy to more than one nation of Europe; and that enterprises to subvert it will sometimes originate in the intrigues of foreign powers, and will seldom fail to be patronized and abetted by some of them.
