Apologies for getting involved in this. I believe Irv interpreted Ralf's original post as containing an attack on George Bush's support of the death penalty for murder. After all, even his most fervent opponents (I am one of them) admits that Mr. Bush does not advocate the death penalty for software piracy and has not executed anyone for software piracy. So two separate issues were raised and addressed. Ceratainly someone can believe (as I do) that both murder and software piracy are wrong without believing that they are of equal importance. And I really wish this thread would go away--while software piracy has some relevance to this list, murder and its punishment are clearly outside isssues better discussed by private email or in other forums--the net is full of discussions pro and con about the death penalty and every other contorversial issue, why are we going back and forth about this? -- Mike Nelson
