[yes, I'm over limit -- sue me, and take your case to the
Supreme Ct.]

I'm not sure who you are addressing this to or thinking of. I
have never seen the X-Files and have no interest in crystal
balls (single crystals of biologically interesting compounds, on
the other hand, help pay my rent). 

I don't recall asking for blueprints for a revolution and I am
quite sure I've expressed no interest convening in a
constitutional convention.
