I wanted to mention that I think 1836 was the year temporary US income tax was enacted, with the thought that "pardon" just might possibly reflect that it was taxes unpaid? That may also be the year that Social Security was enacted. Admittedly hazy at history, Kaye in Texas __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
