Bill: You know, I just don't believe you that "it makes no sense at all to
you". Except perhaps in the sense that you have a will to not understand
as the French say. At any rate, after this I give up. You can lead a
prejudiced lefty to a text but you can't make him read. Just do the
rest of us on the list a favor, huh, don't rail against what you won't
even bother to read or try to understand. Bye.
