Hey! Now THAT'S pretty well stated there, Mike!

But c'mon, fess up...didn't the ghost of Tom Jefferson help out just a little with your thoughts here???

(...btw, this reminds me of when I was the Boarding Gate Supervisor for NWA at LAX...July 4th was usually pretty dead, and so for a couple of years on that date I'd run a little contest at the gates where I'd announce to the customers that I'd upgrade to First Class the first person who could walk up to me and recite the first line of the Declaration of Independence, and every year it wasn't UNTIL about the TENTH soul who'd walk up and DIDN'T say "We The People" and who actually knew it was "When in the course of human events"....yep, we's done got ourselves one really good edumacational system in this here country, don't we?!)


Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
