heh. well ya know ted, when doug starts going toystory on me and reading my arguments as some sort of unmitigated *reverence* for ye ol' bourg-lib constitution, when i quite clearly am not, then i reckon i'm obliged to point out that, yes indeedy, it quite possible the idea wasn't a new one and that it surely isn't necessarily an idea solely developed by nasty old property owning white guys with a penchant for not washing their hair and wearing wigs instead.
