Rrrr. Rrrrr... OKAY, I'm sure that's bait, but it's a (relatively) slow week here at Netscapegoat. (Besides, I've apparently already set a precedent for responding to tentacularly dangled carrots earlier this week with my response to the C'punk Seal question.) So I'm throwing better judgment to the wind and leaping straight for the soft pink throat of this taunt. To reply simply: Wrong -- the will of the people is as fickle as the wind. Follow the will of the people, and you run your country by following fads. Mob rule and all that. We're in deep trouble if we ever get a true democracy. Sorry. Just had to respond. -- MY opinions, thank you very much.

One of the things Adolph Hitler and Bill Clinton have in common is that both were democratically elected leaders. --- Dr. Dimitri Vulis Brighton Beach Boardwalk BBS, Forest Hills, N.Y.: +1-718-261-2013, 14.4Kbps

That, and that the elections were bad decisions, without much better alternatives at the time );. But as much as I dislike Clinton, I think that that's about as far as a comparison can go. -- #include <disclaimer.h> /* Sten Drescher */ To get my PGP public key, send me email with your public key and Subject: PGP key exchange Key fingerprint = 90 5F 1D FD A6 7C 84 5E A9 D3 90 16 B2 44 C4 F3 Junk email is NOT appreciated.
