Even if this were not so, so what? Is this really significant? Has our politicization grown so great that we have to concern ourselves with this kind of triviality? I mean, if someone wanted to contend that this had some bearing on how well the dogs work, I could see it. Nobody has said this. On the other hand there are issues of ownership where some schools transfer ownership and some don't. This hasn't gotten much if any comment. I must say that I don't get this at all. -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!129!90!Gary.Petraccaro Internet: Gary.Petraccaro@f90.n129.z1.fidonet.org
