"When it shall be said in any country in the world that my poor are happy, neither ignorance nor distress is to be found among them; my jails are empty of prisoners, my streets of beggars, the aged are not in want; the taxes are not oppressive; the rational world is my friend, because I am the friend of its happiness—when these things can be said, then may that country boast its constitution and its government." --Thomas Paine, 1791

Hey...they got me in there!(although the link is slightly screwed up.)
Thanks for sending me that FF article, by the way. I've seen clips from the Corman FF...it's really, really terrible.
