We seem to be the only country whose 'intellectual leaders' don't like the country they live in. American 'Liberals' (collectivist statists, actually) seem to be more guilty of this than 'Conservatives'. Flames are welcomed, but temper your flames with this information -- I have lived in the Boston/Cambridge area for 22 years, recently moving to the North Shore of Massachusetts. -- -- cheers, Mike Simpson, BBN msimpson@bbn-unix (ARPA) decvax!bbncca!msimpson (Usenet) 617-497-2819 (Ma Bell)
