I find it interesting that the United States was formed via the venue of armed rebellion, but disqualifies anyone from public service who advocates the same. As a friend says, "the first thing the revolutionary government does when they get in power is to ... ban all revolutions!" It is also interesting to note that Jefferson, Paine, and others of the era advocated, even supported, the right of the people to overthrow an oppressive government, even their own. -- Ed Carp, N7EKG erc@apple.com 510/659-9560 anon-2133@twwells.com If you want magic, let go of your armor.
