Several > give that up. Not that I'm a gun nut, but having my home broken into while I used to live in Maryland, about halfway between Washington D.C. and Baltimore. I now live in Kyoto Japan. I don't really have to worry about crime here, even though I live in the middle of the city. I can even walk to the convenience store at 3am by myself and have no worries. You see people here walking away from ATMs counting huge wads of money making no attempt at hiding their bundle. Lots of houses, for the front door, have a flimsy little wooden japanese style sliding number that would take anyone about 1 second to break into, but you don't have to worry about that here. --- þ Synchronet þ Data Stream - telnet://dsbbs.net - www.dsbbs.net .
