AussieW, True you do. You also live in a wonderful counrty. It is sort of like Texas. Hot, dry, folks speak funny, and have a weird sense of humor.  OH, and have been known to have a beer or two.  I will say though the "left" part of the left coast seems to stop its influence before it gets as far left as Jen or you. I don't think anyone has accused NZ or Oz of being so open minded that their brains fell out.  JL

Them's fighting words Lil - take it from me - it's far easier just to humour her and pat her on the head than to try and argue with her.
