I even went back and re-worded the post before I sent it. The Craig list is not a place for today's political ideologies. If you want to debate HISTORY and the Craigs....there is a lot of material. I apologize if my post was interpreted as crassly political, as some of the responses were. Now.....everyone....back to the dusty tomes....and Happy Hunting! ..........Judy *********************************************************** cato@primary.net ***********************************************************
