Heh, I guess things were a lot easier in the good 'ol USSR days hey andy, boy those guys really knew how to get re-elected didn't they? The fact of the matter is that if elected officials fear for their jobs when taking a vote it should tell them that they are *not* making the right decision. If everyone is onboard with this, or any new law, the elected representative has no worries. They will have represented the will of their constituents. If they are making a statement to support a few wacked out, pseudo-Socialist (not you Andy, you have presented your authentic credentials to everyone's satisfaction), anti-capitalist fringe groups they will probably be voted out of office. So sure, make a vote and as Andy always commands: Do it NOW! TJSwift Cherokee PArk __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
