OK - I'm in grump mode. It's very vague - there is nothing specific in it - what are the laws they want changed? What do they want them changed to? Just "we're mad as hell, and we're not gonna take it anymore?" Back in Dec, I e-mailed the person at the return address to politely ask for more information and was soundly ignored.

It's a chain letter. Anything that says "send to everyone you know" is a chain letter.

CamiSu, I'm not flaming you. It's a rant - not a flame. :-) An awful lot of smart people, including Kim & Reggie Harris and others who's names appear on it, bought it. I strongly dislike chain letters - possibly because I've been taken in by them myself.

After 101 days since we first got it with Gordon Bok's signature, this has 32 more names on it. Of course, there are millions of these floating around that have around the same number of names. Still, better to post one message here than send it to 10 people, who will collectively send it (with one more name) to 100 people, who will collectively send it (with one more name) to 1,000 people, who will collectively send it to 10,000 people...

Here's an idea - if we add the folks who said they'd sign it from the other thread, I'm sure it will have over 100 signatures. Maybe you could complete it and send it back and see what happens, if anything.
