> You're right, there is no "boss" that can fire them. But there is > government. Now, see... that's where I would agree with you. That IS, but one of the many jobs of the government. But in America, the land of the free, where you cannot buy a beer on your birthday because your ID happens to have your birth date as the expiration date, even when your hair has gone gray and mostly gone from your head (but I was able to buy a pack of cigarettes at the same place right after being denied a six pack), the government is said to have only one job, and that is to protect the people (and go to war for oil, of course, because after all, we are protecting ourselves from having to, god forbid, walk once in a while) and that's that! We have no time to changes that make sense around here. How dare you suggest the government spend time and money on something that would make us more aligned with the rest of the world?!! Outrageous! We already have little time to deal with our frivolous law suits and watch TV as it is =) -Mario (neither a democrat nor a republican, just like to rant a lot =). -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
