Cheryl,
	Would you elaborate?  What did you get in the way of political
screed??
	Maybe you and Mark are not on the same page?  I have not seen much
overtly political on the list lately.
	I run two sets of filters to stop spam and when some gets your
direct email address, no matter how, they can devise email spams to get by
them.  I am now occasionally getting funky stuff from Germany.  
	Again, what happened?

Political Addendum:
Killing the human spirit 
	What do I mean by the return of the spirit [to the workplace].
First, let me quote Ayn Rand about spirit: "The quickest way to kill the
human spirit is to ask someone to do mediocre work."
	When business and government were asking people not to do their
best, they were telling the workers, in essence, to lie to their customers.
Even though the workers knew they could have done better, they weren't
supposed to. Because the old paradigm preached that to do it right the first
time cost too much.
	The cost that was never build into that statement was the cost of
the workers' integrity. Not doing your best but presenting it as your best
is a lie. And lying corrupts the soul.

Future. (New York: HarperCollins Publishers), 1993 (1992), p. 137.
