It's all a matter of how much and how comfortable you are in sharing the information with people. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- The Derby City BBS -= Allen Prunty =- telnet://derbycitybbs.com -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Where Friends Gather --- Synchronet 3.15a-Win32 NewsLink 1.85 * Derby City Online - Louisville, KY - telnet://derbycitybbs.com

Now the interesting thing is for prosperity should we record our families screen names in the family history. Some softwares are starting to have the option to place "email addresses" in the person's record. After all there will be a digi-trail of everything we have written on the net long after we are dead.

Funny, though, how the meaning of the label has changed over time - used to was that a liberal wanted _less_ government, not more, lower taxes (because of less government), not more. From Webster on-line: liberalism; especially : of or constituting a political party in the United Kingdom associated with ideals of individual especially economic freedom, greater individual participation in government, and constitutional, political, and administrative reforms designed to secure these objectives. Now we have Liberals as proponents of the "Nanny state", tax-and- spend, government intervention everywhere, in ever segment of society and of life in general. Liberals, in the US, at any rate, tend more toward socialism than toward liberalism. Go figure. The question in Nobember, will be which is the lesser of two weevils: McCain or Obama.
