I did not even know that's what the proposal was about - I did say I objected to the whole having not even read it - simply because of the holier-than-thou wording of that specific paragraph. > Well to that sir, I say this: In the United States capitalism is a > way of life, but > YOUR freedom's only extend to the point at which they impeach upon MY > freedoms, at which > point you and every SPAMMER out there IS WRONG.
