That's a more direct solution. >No amount of bitching is going to change the government's greed. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I'm one of these cynics who thinks that people get the government they deserve. It's not government greed; it's the financial demands of the programs we insist on having and demand of our elected persons. Canadians are great believers in "sacred trusts"; we'll elect anyone who uses those magic words, even in passing. For evidence, look to Ottawa. Sometimes I think if some transient sleeping on a subway grating in Toronto declared invading Bulgaria was a sacred trust, we'd elect him with a huge margin, no questions asked. >Kim Nguyen kim@watsup.waterloo.edu >Systems Design Engineering -- University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada =============================================================================== __ __ Brian A.
