Without an adequate answer to that question -- what are the treatment and prevention options? -- all other relevant questions are moot, such as, how will we pay for it? Are our expectations of our young people really that low? How about first testing it on a small group, like the Senate, for whom many already have low expectations? However, I am surprised that, despite her facility with the local idiom, she took that many words to ask, "An den?" Nobu Nakamoto - --- MAP posted-by: Doc-Hawk
