>John, once again, this has absolutely nothing to do with Republican/Democrat/Liberal/Conservative.

As I thought, you've ducked the question. I would be willing to bet you've never voted for a republican, nor have you worked for one. You are myopic when it comes to politics. You have nothing to say about anything Clinton did while in office i.e. bombing a milk factory whenever the fires got hot under him, etc. Clinton accepted money from Haliburton, was neck deep in slush fund money from the Chinese, etc, etc, etc ad nauseum. You are a democratic shill! Admit it!

Whew, I feel better now.<g>

As for me trying to prove my intelligence to you, sorry I don't have to. I'm comfortable knowing that I'm above average, but definitely not a genius. I like where I am on the scale, thank you.
