I consider myself a liberal, although not a Demopublicrat. As such, I wanted to point out that name calling is a two way street. Aparently, I'm not as eloquent as Mr. Crandell. Thanks Bob. Anyway, as it would be hard to argue that a wireless network would infringe on someone's religous beliefs, maybe we should all go to the next City Council meeting and ask the City for its blessing to install a network downtown. I've also heard through the grapevine that several civic leaders want Eugene to be thought of as the "Greenwich Village of the West". MAybe if we could dress up the antennae as some kind of high class art, the city would even kick in some funding. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
