    Libertarians have a lot of good ideas and a few whacko ones although on the adverage they tend to make sense. they support the Second Admendment (good) even if it means personal RPGs (bad). So I guess I'll just let someone else beat thier head against that wall Rember if you want to get an elephants attention the first step is to make very shure that you want the elephant's full attention.

When I graduated from school in the 50's about 15% of the population could not read above a 5th grade level the figure now is about 20% and getting worse. (ask someone when they last read a book.
