Well, Jibby
You got my unwaivering Karma. You know Ayn Rand. Moreover, you use her basic statement to a reporter as your signature line. I have never failed to read Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead at least once a year for about 13 years, I'd guess.
You know, stuff like Feds like to do.
Saint7 has my Karma, too. Different opinion, but while both are right IMO, neither will see it until it happens.
Code, I'd appreciate an email, but I have to throw my gear on a plane in 2 1/2 hours! SHIT!
That makes me, therefore, a "Fed." Just like a SEAL, or a Ranger, or a number of other spec ops people, big and small. Or even a simple civil servant.
I am not a product of the former Soviet Union, where real Feds came in many, many forms, and some still do.

P.S. But I do indeed like the melody of the Russian National Anthem. It is very powerful. Such is the power of music.
