Well Hubblescope, I'm sure you are a good Doctor, a fine President
and an outstanding Family man.................However as a political
candidate you are dramatically lowering your Power base by constantly
being a proponent of lost causes...................ie "EM's are better" and
"Cold valve lifter adjustment is better than 
Hot"............................not
a wily Politician yet are you !!! <GGG>
