	Moy-"put a $1000/pack tax on bullets!"-nihan) in congress, get their

	Tell that to Billy "Censorship?  I thought that said _sensorship_!"
	boy Clinton.  He's hot to censor, via the FCC ("equality in 
	broadcasting"--the fairness requirement), via Reno, via.. ETC.

	After all, the tried and true argumentative philosophy of the 
	left is, "If you can't match them, scream louder or make it illegal
	for them to talk.  Who needs views that can stand up to scrutiny when
	you can silence the oppoisition?"

	Chief don't want to see that, perhaps you should be writing to your
	congresspersons before whining about the evil conservatives.

 all of a sudden they've reached puberty, they believe that they like women.
 Actually, you're just horny. It doesn't mean you like women any more at
 twenty-one than you did at ten.                --Jules Feiffer (cartoonist)
