     Last line reminds me of something else. I usually hate drippy nature programs, but I did see ONE that I like. Was about chimps. At some point the camera settled on a pendulous-titted chimpette nursing a junior chimp, and I guess paw chimp was bent on making some sort of political statement about the lack of safe and government subsidized abortion, so he yanked the baby away from her and beat her senseless with it. Then he ran up a tree with it, and finding that it hadn't been dispatched by the contact with maw chimp's skull, whacked it against the trunk three or four times, pretty much busting its head open. Then he ate it.

     "Trident" <[e-mail]> wrote in message news:[e-mail]... Try to remember we're at war. By declaring perpetual war Bush granted himself special "war powers" that permit him to ignore the constitution. It's all bullshit, of course, but the chimpettes controlling congress have neither the brains nor balls to reign him in.
