    If it's for turning up, rather than voting for a specific candidate, that's not soooo bad. Sad that it comes to that though.
    "What are moon-letters?" asked the hobbit full of excitement. He loved maps, as I have told you before; and he also loved runes and letters, and cunning handwriting, though when he wrote himself it was a bit thin and spidery.

    I'm afraid this can of worms has just been opened...this "brilliant" idea of cash prizes is already out there. All someone needs to do is take it to the next level.

    Where on Wikipedia did you find that? Certainly doesn't seem like de Tocqueville...
    Clearly they had a higher and more comprehensive conception of the duties of society toward it's members than had the lawgivers of Europe of the time, and they imposed obligations upon it that were shirked elsewhere... But it is the provisions for public education which, from the very first, throw into the clearest relief the originality of American civilization.

    Thanks much - explains a lot.

    I do enjoy your scripture, don't know if I've thanked you for it...

    Cheers
