Also note that the British meaning of "liberal" is different from its meaning in the US, and was even more so in the early 20th century. So the "quotation" wouldn't have had the same resonance that it might have to a modern reader. Moreover, Churhcill defected from the Liberal party to the Conservative party, and then back again. But that's another story. -- Liam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
