With all of the "punish the evildoers amongst us" and the "Improving Security by making it illegal" raving in congress, this came to mind... "The Congressional Definition of the Strength of a Firewall is how many times you can march the citizenry in front of it for summary execution before it crumbles."

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.

You forgot Feinstien. (I know... You are trying to...)

Who said anything about wanting to kill them? A diced jalapeneo enema will not kill them. (Actually I am not sure of that. We will have to run a test... The debug process could take some time... ]:> ) alano@teleport.com | "Those who are without history are doomed to retype it."
