That's a recursive definition. "The way things are now" is our current social contract, so you are saying "The way things are now is consistent with the way things are now." I suppose that could be taken as an axiom, but I don't see any useful benefit to it :-) -- John Goerzen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> GPG: 0x8A1D9A1F www.complete.org "Value your freedom, or you will lose it, teaches history. `Don't bother us with politics,' respond those who don't want to learn."
