MacRich, The important point here is that at least one of our very important "founding fathers", John Adams, was not so smitten by the dream of democrazy as to be immune to the thought of the possibility of enlightened citizens choosing a popular assembly which could potentially be despotic. And this he was able to do in an age which did not demonstrate the most blatantly obvious propaganda that is unexplained to us of less fortunate intellect by an American Enterprise Institute or a Fox News. Machiavellians with skull caps? What the hell next is coming? Chas p.s. Haven't you learned how to just tell someone to "fuck off". "just leave me alone" is pitiful although it would have been a better thing for whatsherface to have said to George w. than "please don't kill me"- more Garbonik. ---------- >From: Richard Stanton <[log in to unmask]> >To: [log in to unmask] >Subject: Re: Rom.
