Agreed. Though I'm indeed very pleased with having gotten _some_ reform -- or at least what _sounds like_ reform -- after having had my hopes raised for the first time since my grad-school years, I'm back to being fed up and disgusted with the US Political System. I've decided to return to my post- McGovern/pre-Bush(Dubya) days -- i.e., not wasting my time trying to deal with a political system populated with liars, lawyers, scumbags, criminals, bigots, and hypocrites (pardon me for being repetitive). -- iMac (27", 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB RAM, 1 TB HDD) � OS X (10.6.3)

What saddens me is the typical American pretty much believes just that. I feel very lucky I'm not a typical American, by any stretch. -- Send responses to the relevant news group rather than email to me.

But union agreements include it for lots of people. -- Very old woody beets will never cook tender. -- Fannie Farmer |
