    I'd never put them on a web page.  Instant lawsuit bait I am afraid.  I
investigated this once when started writing the Clearing House and was
advised most strongly against it.  Shame actually because they are a great
teaching aid.

            I used a series of Laocoon type cartoons (my favorite shows
Nixon, Haldeman, and Mitchell entangled in tapes) for just this purpose when

myth.....cultural literacy.
