     That's kind of what I figured.  I've written to my districts state
legislator about the matter and would encourage all to do the same.  If
you don't know who your districts rep is you can find out and email them
from the following URL:

     The only way we will be able to pull the law makers into the 21st
century is by collectively bombing them with mail to change the system.

     Cheers,
      Joe
