You certainly can all over Europe and Asia and the Middle East. Not sure about the USA. -- William Black I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.

Friedrich Hayek explaining his use of the word "liberal" in the foreword of his book "The Road to Serfdom": "I use throughout the term 'liberal' in the original, nineteenth-century sense in which it is still current [1944] in Britain. In current American usage it often means very nearly the opposite of this. It has been part of the camouflage of leftist movements in this country, helped by the muddle-headedness of many who really believe in liberty, that 'liberal' has come to mean the advocacy of almost every kind of government control." -- Bert Hyman | St. Paul, MN | bert(a)iphouse.com

Why on earth do people on Usenet insist on quoting the sort of academic who needs shooting rather than listening to? -- William Black I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
