Of course, if we made the presidency an underpaid job with poor housing, it might attract fewer opportunists and more people who really wanted to get the job done right.<P>If we could do that with congress, it would work wonders. Of course, since they vote their own pay raises and so forth, I don't know if we could work it. Perhaps if we pushed for an amendment that made the states that elected them responsible for their upkeep? This would certainly make them a bit more responsive to the folks back home. Of course, getting it to pass would be a bit problematic.<P>--Baloo<P>------------------<BR>Remember: pillage <I>before</I> you burn!<BR>-- G.
