I am sorry nto report that doing the right thing rarely gets any ink. But it is still the right thing, and you have to keep doing it--if for no reason better than being able to live with your self. Thanks for what you do. -- Somebody should have said: A democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for dinner.
