>I had a supervisor once, who firmly believed that once a deadline was entered into his calendar, that the project would magicallty be done by that date.

I am going to use that approach to world problems. In my calendar on April 1st I have entered:

8:00 Evil is Outlawed
9:00 War is Outlawed
10:00 Poverty is Outlawed
11:00 Fools are Outlawed
12:00 Lunch
1:00 Nap

Whew! What a day! :-)
