Linda does a good job but I frankly didn't believe this when I got it. So I checked. Unfortunately, this is true. Herr Klinton has, by executive order, suspended part of the constitution which gives him his powers. This is not logical, but if he has enough guys with guns backing him up, that doesn't matter. Good luck to you all. I may occasionally read my mail but from now on my efforts are going to be focused on getting moved out of this hellhole before they "seal the borders."

I have not finished sorting out my lists and only recently figured out the difference between individuals and newsgroups (and have not yet gotten the names that are already in newsgroups). This was too important to wait on me to finish sorting. *********************** ALERT ALERT ************************ WARRENTLESS SEARCHES CAN NOW BE APPROVED BY FREEH, RENO, DOD, ET. AL.
