I work for a living because the alternative would be to starve to death (a very long process in my case, but an eventuality non-the-less). I think way over 65% of my co-workers are in the same boat. Does this mean that we are exploited and that the government should attempt to keep our products out of the marketplace? What did you say? We wouldn't starve if we weren't working. That's right, minimum wage at McFast-food or welfare. I don't see your logic at all. -- Jerry Natowitz (HASA - A division) Bell Labs HR 2A-214 201-615-5178 (no CORNET) ihnp4!houxm!hropus!jin or ihnp4!opus!jin Isn't it interesting how the beautiful little red flower in the forest becomes so ugly when you discover it's a candy wrapper.

Ah, but if I swing my fists in alone in my own home, then there's no problem. Furthermore, if you have such a heart condition, then you are more an exception than a rule and would have to avoid quite a few situations which would not affect 'normal' people, and hence would surely not be ceased because of your particular condition. -- Joseph Arceneaux Lafayette, LA (ut-sally!usl!jla, jla%usl.CSNET)
