Tone d'F: The Terry Pratchet book is on the top of my shopping list, though I have to confess that I have no earthly idea who Terry Pratchart is, and why I should be looking to him for leadership! The fact that you recommend him is reason enough for me to look into it.

Ok, Bill D, how DOES one negotaite with China? I'm sure everybody would like to know that!

Oh, and Tone d'F, wanna applaud the double digit (I mean real double digit inflation during the Carter administration?) I doubt it.

And Mary Garvey, have you know idea what you are saying when you say with Tipper Gore, we will have the best first lady in hitory? Do you not know what will befall you for thinking such blasphemous thoughts when we have such stellar ladies as Hillery Clinton as our first lady? And what about Eleanor Roosevelt? You gonna just sweep her into the trashbin of history? Shame on you! (Said with a very stiff tongue in the cheek) DougR
