Too bad, Dominique, They're *my* tag lines, not all conservative, 
some attempts at humor, even. Obviously, I'm not about to post 
taglines that are in opposition to my own idealogy. The media in 
the U.S. exposes me to quite enough of that, thank you. 
Regretably, John Rawls' "thoughts" exist in the minds of too many.

Off topic, yes, but considering the amount of off topic material 
that passes in the body of messages here, and the fact that 
these are only taglines, seems a poor comparison. They're 
randomly selected and they will continue.

Feel free to not read them and/or post taglines of your choosing. 

Now, that we've each vented on the list, let's move future 
discussion of my taglines to private email and return to Leica.

     The precept: Judge not, that ye be not judged... is an
     abdication of moral responsibility. It is a moral blank
     check one gives to others in exchange for a moral blank
     check one expects for oneself. The moral principle to adopt
     is: Judge, and be prepared to be judged.
