Even a representative democracy needs to have some way to deal with the people who go after little kids, and make other kinds of messes. A democracy does not, and never has, meant that all people can do anything they want without punishment. I am noticing an attitude that believes a democracy implies absolute freedom to do anything a person wants. This is what an anarchist strives for....until one of his group burns his house down. /BAH

But where will they find the > real men to fill them? :-) It's alright, there's no need for being PC in this thread. You can call them skirts, that's alright. Kilts traditionally covered the full length of body, going all the way over one shoulder. The modern thing that people call a kilt is a modern cynically created invention. It's boring in places, but has lots of data with watertight references (it's basically an academic book, a collection of papers, rather than a coffee-table book), but well worth a read: The Invention of Tradition Eric Hobsbawm, Terence Ranger The Scots come off _very_ badly, be warned.

They did not have to be rectified. What goes into industrial plants was never designed for home use. Back then nobody was making gear to be installed in a residence. We made one computer that could be plugged in but its price was too high for anybody to purchase it as a personal computer. /BAH

Now read the regs on gear manufactured for non-home use. /BAH
