      Sometimes, when I hear people talk/say or write about the words Democrat or       Republican, they will sometimes say/write "lowercase d or r" or they'll       say/write "uppercase D or R." In simple lay person terms, why is that? Why       does that matter? I hope        that I asked this in the right way, so that you understand what I'm asking.        Thank you.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
