This is getting absurd. <sarcasm> Why don't we debate Gingrich's skill at
chess? I've always thought a good chess player, what with their
complicated problem solving machinery and all, would have than enough
intelligence in place to govern a nation. </sarcasm>
While I agree that it's nice for Congress to be forward-looking, it would
be much nicer if he had more libertarian leanings than it would be that he
be at Future Shock level 4. The future can take care of itself; all we
want/need gov't to do is get out of the way!
