I don't want to take this dialogue too far into one of
my many passions--politics--but it bears noting that
the Heritage Foundation is a key advisor to the
current administration.  Memory fails me, but I
believe both Lynn Cheney and Mrs. Clarence Thomas both
work there.

In "my spare time" I am also list mater to a forum
with a heavy dose of politics.  For that reason, I
read many newsletters of multiple skew.  I just
thought I'd let you know that if you are interested in
keeping abreast of issues the Heritage Foundation
feels important (either to concur or oppose them), you
can sign up for their newsletter here:

http://www.heritage.org/

Again, I'm not trying to turn this into a political
debate, just offering you an opportunity to broaden
your perspective and decide for yourself.
