If that was his point, he picked a very bad example. His exmaple license would fail on discrimination before convenience even became a factor. As far as the "convenience arguments", as I pointed out earlier, the differences between freedom and convenience are quite clearly delineated in the dictionary, and attempts to conflate the two do not make for compelling arguments. --Adam -- Adam McKenna <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
