Lex, leaving aside what the Founding Fathers thought they were doing when they framed that amendment (presumably providing Chuck Heston with a bit of retirement income wasn't top of their priorities) I'm always surprised by the idea that Americans can only be polite when they're staring down the barrel of a gun.

Beau, thanks for the good words - I hope you'll come back & visit again
