i apologies to those who i offended.  i do think the availability of
materials is directly related, and i believe the reasoning behind that
belief is also relevant, since an unsupported statement has no support
and doesn't mean much.  having said that, i did go on a bit longer than
i should have.  i'll try to be more careful.  at the same time, a little
tolerance goes a long way, as does learning how to use that delete key
once you've read the "relevant" part of a post and it looks like you
won't care about the rest.  tolerance, the essence of any peace or
civilized discourse.

Philip Stortz--"In Germany they came first for the Communists, and I
didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.=20
Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a
Jew.=20
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I
wasn't a trade unionist.=20
Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was a
Protestant.=20
Then they came for me, and by that time no one was left to speak up."
