Hi Ken!

Thanks for the additions to my list. Actually, the list could go on and on. But space precludes me from a full litany. I agree with Freeus on some points like the DEA and criminalization of drugs, but on the other hand would we want to have pilots high on drugs?

TTFN,
CTC

re: Oh yes, as I recall the Internet was funded by the US Government to tie Universities together.

That might have been one of the objectives, but the hidden agenda was to have communication in case of nukes dropping like rain. I had professor who worked on the original arpinet (sp), Mr. oven controlled oscillator, his baby, that's another story altogether..

****off topic*****
People have to learn to be responsible for themselves once again and not expect the government or others to always be paying for them and their mistakes.
But a welfare type govt such as we have now encourages people to NOT be responsible.
