You ignore the fact though that the media waves are hit quite often with
stories about fed, state, and more local legislation dating back to the
1700's or even 1800's that are dated, silly, and in some cases just plain
stupid if not unconstitutuinal, and need or are being revised to fit the
time and understanding of the present.

Certainly, if we all paid a tad more head to this variant of "he who is
without fault can cast the frst stone", we have far less silly flamefests
out here <smile>, course to err is human, and we tend to err alot <and
some of us, me tend to typo up a storm as well!>.

But, please, leave the antartic and it's frozeded inhabitants alone, but
do send firewood.

Thanks,
