Regarding long messages (>30 lines, after which IAN! falls asleep :-)):

	As an offender in the sense that my recent postings have been longer
than IAN!'s limit, my only reponse is that it took me that long to present
my arguments. If you want flip silly responses to questions like "Do you
think Crown Corporations are a good thing?", read the Toronto Scum (sorry,
Sun) reponses from the Editor.

Regarding the "will of the majority":
	 It is obvious Ian and I are on different wavelengths!
Essentially I feel that the individual should be free to do whatever
he/she wants, and that the only limit that society can place upon
that individual is to not condone actions that harm others.
The impression I get from some articles is that society is more important
than individuals; I can never accept this. That way lies repression.
	(No, you CANNOT fly that hang-glider. SOCIETY will have to pay
	your medical bills, should you hurt yourself)
	(No, you MUST wear you seatbelt/motorcycle helmut. SOCIETY will
	have to pay. YES, SOCIETY is more important than your happiness
	or your liberty. All dissenters, into prison. All gays, into the
	camps. YOU MUST HAVE THAT CHILD.)
