BR>-- Bill Deady BR>Manchester, New Hampshire p>I wish to second the motion made by the honorable gentleman, Mr. Jed Babbin. Until I draw my final breath, I shall maintain that the two most dangerous inventions to the health of our great Republic were, and are, air conditioning and television. p>First, we air conditioned government building and our elected officials and their creation, government bureaucrats, decided that they could stay on the job year round. Prior to air conditioning, we had a respite from the wicked ways of the governing class for four to six months during the oppressive Washington, D.C. summers. p>Then they decided to televise the proceedings of the House and Senate and their committees. We went from elected officials that hardly said a word during their entire terms of office, to "Will someone PLEASE tell them to shut up!" Additionally, it has gotten more dangerous to be in proximity of our Capitol building or other important government structures. If you are caught between Senators Schumer or McCain (and a few others) and the TV cameras, you can be trampled to death in a heart beat. p>Yes, Mr. Babbin is right. In the name of God, Go -- and don't come back. BR>-- Ken Shreve BR>An escapee from the environs of Washington, D.C. p> THE TWO TIMES: NOT TOO "SWIFT" BR>Re: The Prowler's SWIFT Deposits :
