I loved Mr. Asimov. I read damned everything he ever wrote including
his scientific explanations. But I'm going to change the quote above.

The strain of intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its
way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false
notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your
ignorance, but I have a PhD in communist nonsense. -- leo

United States interested in us at all? I don't even know the name of
your Prime Ministers, although one possibly authors the cartoon
"Doonesbury".
