Not alot, but when it's the easiest way to get around, yes I have. I've also spent more time than I care to think about in Union Station, Chicago and other places that are rather seedy. I don't do this as a hobby, but don't tell me I don't know what it's like! Now, a lot of these places have rather high rates of personal injury, due to jerks trying to get a few bucks, or just for kicks. Now it's bad enough to have these idiots going around injuring people. It's a far cry worse to have idiots running around shooting people (or stabbing, or beating with a lead pipe, or other ways of injuring people) and to have HALF the damn peoplein the country think he's a HERO! If that's your hero, please, PLEASE, stay away from me. I don't want to be reaching in my pocket for something just to be shot by some asshole who thinks I'm going to mug him. I have an idea. Let's put all the people who think he's a hero on one half of the country, and when they're done blowing each other away,the other half can repopulate it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Andy Banta {decvax!allegra!ihnp4}!pur-ee!pucc-k!agz Dept. of Mental Instability, Purdue University --- "I'm OK, You're a CS Major" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "What was it brought you out here in the dark?
