<... the NextWave decision was but another tangible example of our liberty--that limited government is alive and well, that the Government has to follow the law, too.> <<Nicely put, JGoren. Many things to celebrate this 4th of July. Best to all.>> Steady on there! I heard the US government makes the law. Then they ignore those they don't like [Kennard vs NextWave]. Then appoints judges who will vote the way their political leanings go rather than what the actual law says [Bush vs Gore]. That's assuming they even know what the law is [MSFT and $ill vs Jackson, Janet Joel, reversed by some circuitous judicial body, to be reversed again and then pardoned or ignored or something]. How about carpet bombing Vietnamese civilians [is that a crime against humanity to match our favourite Serb's efforts]? Sure there is a constitution guaranteeing freedom and all that nonsense [unless you are a woman with no vote, negro slave or later 'segregated', or a homosexual, or they want to conscript you, or want to use dope to amuse yourself, or ...]. The words are nice, but it's still largely a matter of naked power with only a passing acquaintance with ethics, morals and compliance with the actual words of the contradictory, ambiguous, self-serving laws as written. Anyway, I thought 4 July was for skyrockets, gunpowder explosives and stuff [though you wouldn't be allowed to buy those now in the neutered world we live in]. It sure is a messy world. But Q!'s doing okay. Mqurice
