On this we agree. I read once that Reagan and Tipp O'neill would give each other partisan hell all day then go have drinks after "work" and talk about how they were going to work together to actually get something done. I'd like to see that again. I would really like to see reform. The system actually needs it. It's like it's all a game on both sides. Neither cares about the good of the country, they care about reelection, at best and their PAC supporters at worst. I'm actually disgusted with them all. =c= _______________________________________________ OSX-Nutters mailing list | [email protected] http://lists.tit-wank.com/mailman/listinfo/osx-nutters List hosted at http://cat5.org/
