really man, a little passion over an important subject......... and no kidding, something that is 'world impactful'...............'some' expression about that isn't out of line at all. Like you know............this is a historic day.......... there has *never* been a day like today, with so much at stake, in the entire human history of North America. I think a few comments are entirely appropriate. Scott
