Please publish essays of this nature somewhere else. I subscribe to this list for the legal discussions, not for moral lectures; I prefer not to receive the latter in my mailbox. I will not comment on whether I agree with your views, but this list is not an appropriate avenue for expressing them. regards, Graue -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
