Also, the problem with legs is those damn kids with their tow-cable enhanced speeders.
I'd rather spare my eyes and use more paper/toner. What are the other advantages of using 10pt fonts over 12pt fonts?

Arbeit Mike Fair! A slogan from my student days, Mike Fair then being a South Carolina state legislator.
I'd rather take my chances against the terrorists. At least they don't demand my moral sanction.
Also, making it a little easier to fight the terrorists is not the only standard of law.
