That's my opinion. To email me, remove both spam proofing X's in my email
address. If you have anything negative to say, please do it in the newsgroups
and not in my private email box. Hostile or harassing email will probably be
instantly deleted and may result in complaints to the party's ISP.

"If a nation values anything more than freedom, it will lose its
freedom; and the irony of it is that if it is comfort or money
that it values more, it will lose that too."  - W. Somerset Maugham,
"Strictly Personal," 1941

"Liberty has never come from government. Liberty has always come from
the subjects of government. The history of liberty is the history
of resistance." - Woodrow Wilson
