carrol,

my response to gloria's top 10 list, (and this message as well) are encoded
because i use a microsoft product for my e-mail.  i can only assume that
you do
not, and thus you have a hard time reading it.  rather than blame me, blame
microsoft -- the mega-corporation that (in this case) seems to be affecting my
ability to engage in free speech (imagine that).  

i might also add that there is one candidate who has a pretty good record of
fighting big corporations.
