Now, all you must do is say it again, and again and again. And to some folks who you helped elect. It's still a free country. It's still a place where you may more easily than ever, communicate with your erected.l... uh, sorry, "elected," representatives via the Internet no less. Just do it. This is one time and one place where if it feels good, you can and should do it. See!? You aint no dunce. You've managed to stay way from Gripple haven't you? Jim Mortellaro
