I'll admit that the example was a bit over the top, but I don't think it isn't worthwhile. There were peace activists who protested missiles in Europe and things like that. Were they pro-Soviet? I don't know... Honest, I'm not trying to bait you. I'm still working these things out in my own head. - jmh _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
