	Oh, I see.  Only speculation, wishful thinking, jumping to
unwarranted conclusions, and reliance on self-serving corporations
constitute scientific proof.

	If you're going to attempt to hold people to a certain
standard, the person whom you should be most concerned with holding to
that standard is yourself.

	I don't know about other people, but the mental image I get of
your reacting to communism is someone holding a cat over a full

center of a socialist convention.  It'd be hilarious.

	This is better than rec.humor.funny...
