Oh stop whining. Move forward into the 21st century or drop dead,
whichever you prefer.

Now, THERE is what I call a persuasive argument -- NOT!!! Of course, as
no-coder arguments usually go, it is one of the more logical. Kind of
reminds me of the "Democratic" Party, who have, as their principle
motive for winning the 2004 Presidential Election, the visceral hatred of
President Bush just because he is conducting himself as a true patriot
in his efforts to secure our country from the threat of terrorism. Not a
single one of the '04 Democratic Presidential candidates (with the
possible exception of Sen. Joe Lieberman, who is now out of the race) has
or had any vision for his administration more original than raising Federal
taxes, expanding Federal government social programs, and subordinating
our national sovreignty to the United Nations in matters of International
security policy. All of which confirms my long-held opinion that no-coders
are mainly liberal, socialist, Communist sympathizers who hate America
and want to weaken us by reducing all standards in our society, thus
making us just another Third World nation. How charming.
