KICK BUTT GEORGE..........

I would LOVE to be there.  think someone could put it online for us to

a public cyber hearing.   or at least a live audio were we could link up and
listen at least?         NOT REAL PLAYER...  PLEASE.   my music match is

There is NO reason why we can't do something like this thru FairTest.  I
know if Scooter can do this FairTest can too.

There will never be a really free and enlightened State until the State
comes to recognize the individual as a higher and independent power, from
which all its own power and authority are derived, and treats him
accordingly.
