Musta been watching the Steven Seagal movie about the madman taking over a 
sattellite from a train. It was on TNT the other night. I liked the film but 
realize it has no basis in fact. Especially the physical exploits of the 
hero. He gets shot by a high powered rifle halfway through the flcik and 
keeps on trucking with no apparent effects from blood loss or shock. Take 
care,

"In the end, more than the
Athenians wanted freedom,
they wanted security. They
wanted a comfortable life
and they lost it all - security,
comfort and freedom.
When the freedom they wished
for most was freedom from responsibility,
then Athens ceased to be free."
