It is nice to confirm your dark nature, Nate, that you have your       > hand in the affairs of the dead.              I can live without taxing the dead, but you are wrong if       you think I'm going to sit quietly while a bunch of "top       1%" rich folks do to tomorrow's citizens what Kenny Lay       and other Bush family cronies are already trying to do       to us today.              I'm not sure why I should be surprised that your politics       are rooted, like your "recreational" drug habits, mostly       in selfishness and myopia.              --       Brother Nate Electron Juggler       nathan_engle@yahoo.com http://mypage.iu.edu/~nengle       "Some Assembly Required"              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
