Do you vote ? Do you drive ? Do you trust yourself ? I myself trust everyone as far as I can throw them. And I want electricity and electronic toys and vacations and restaurants and medical care and I want to drive on the highway. Do I trust utilities and Apple and Greeks and AppleBees and my doctor and other drivers ? Not really, I just have to fake it since I want all those things. So what has trust have to do with it ? cc -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
