That works as far as it goes. The problem that we're starting to see is empty shelves. While at the store recently, I saw one of the store shoppers looking at an empty shelf muttering "I don't even know what to substitute h

Unfortunately, history has shown that these are the situations that are used as an excuse for a power grab. So, yes, it's exactly the right time for "libertarian pontification" as you put it. Because there may not be another

I frequent alt.ham.radio, comp.sys.cbm and comp.os.vms (which is quite active). I lurk on some others that are generally used for notifications, such as alt.bbs (and alt.bbs.ads). I'm always up for more newgroups to hold my interest.
