Ah, you have cleverly rewritten the standard definition: The Definition of the Strength of a Firewall is how many politicians one can put in front of it for summary execution before it crumbles. McCain, Kerrey, Hollings, et. al. are guilty of treason and should be put in front of that firewall forthwith. (As a free citizen, I am free to say that any particular person has committed crimes deserving of execution. Despite what pseudo-lawyers often claim. I have never said I plan to kill McCain or Kerrey. An important difference. But they will surely pay for their crimes. Congress and Washington need a taste of their own vile medicine.) --Tim May There's something wrong when I'm a felon under an increasing number of laws.
