FROM GAVIN ESLER
------------------------------------------------------------

Hello,

Today's Quote for the Day is from the designer Stephen Bayley and sums
up exactly how I feel about the glamour of modern travel:

"Apart from going to prison, no other activity in contemporary life
exposes you to such intimidation, ugliness, regimentation, overcrowding
and cruel dehumanisation, as the decision to go to an airport."

[...]

-------------------------------------------------------------------

I am perfectly capable of learning from my mistakes.  I will surely
learn a great deal today.

"A democracy is a sheep and two wolves deciding on what to have for
lunch.  Freedom is a well armed sheep contesting the results of the
decision."

"The best we can hope for concerning the people at large is that they
be properly armed." --Alexander Hamilton
