\_ Yes, and it was written about Jerry Brown. I was thinking this
as I cast my vote for Meg Whitman. I am independent, but I
typically vote Democrat (e.g., I voted for Boxer). However, I

administration on torture? If we do it, it's legal, and since
torture is illegal, therefore we don't torture?

\_ Yes to both. http://tinyurl.com/5qaf6 . A friend of mine is
into collecting machine guns--I can ask him if you want. You
may have just the teensiest of issues with shipping, though. Also

Why are we still using it? does it have *any* advantages over the
AK-47? What about those assault rifles the Swiss militia uses?

Americans don't like American cars, and now Americans don't like
American guns. Sigh, American engineering sucks.
