nevermind - was good information but JU's lousy text editor is yet another reason I didn't like blogging here

I'm usually not one for passing on forwarded emails but I thought this one was worthy given the upcoming election and some recent debates here on JU.   S uppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to $100.
