   Well, why don't we check our facts before we go blasting away?  The main
House sponsor of the ECPA was a knee-jerk liberal Democrat with an ADA
rating of about 100.  The Reagan administration had nothing to do with 
promoting that bill.
   And, if we want to discuss oppressive behavior, we could discuss the
override of the President's veto of the so-called Civil Rights Restoration
Act of 1988, which you probably think had something to do with restoring
civil rights.  But, since this is the ham radio newsgroup, I will dispense
with further comments.
