Maybe it is caused by high levels of unemployment, poverty and poor education.

Who is accountable for that ? - maybe the voters ?

        Thank you all for driving around your respective areas and 
counting the number of political signs still left up. Many posters have
observed the same trend: Far more BUSH signs were left up versus CLINTON
signs in this area. During the week, I too have been taking an informal 
survey of signs left up and have come to the same conclusion: The BUSH
supporters refuse to "clean up their mess" as the original poster 
phrased it. I think I'm starting to agree with one of the responses
that Republicans are often "Bad loosers and lazy". I myself am a long time 
independent and have never bee registered with either party, but after beeing
confronted with quit a bit of atectotal evidence, I'm starting
to reconsider my political affiliation. I now see what the Golden Gryphon
points out is Black&White thinking. I'm going to bring this up with 
some of my Republican "friends" and ask them why they're so unconcerned
with the environment.

 P.S   Until you count all the signs in the country for this election, 
       as well as all the signs left up the last time a Democrat LOST
       an election..... All of this sign counting is irrelevent. The
       original posting was an inference to Republicans beeing un-
       concerned with the environment by not "cleaning up their mess"
       and therefore bad. These are the same tactics used by the media
       to sway non-analytic minds into believing the economy was so terrible.

Ok, now that I've decided to purchase a shortwave/FM/AM radio.... are
there any radio station in these bands that I can listen to for stock

I'm aware of WETA's "Market Place" program but that's not really what
I want.  Prefer a station that provides non-stop coverage or at least
more "serious" coverage than Marketplace.  That program can be so trite
at times.

Any 24 hour a day financial stations?

I agree completely.  The problem, as usual, seems to be that criminal
rights conflict with the rest of the citizens's right to security.
IMO, the big question is what, if anything, can be done to increase
the security for the rest of us *without* further weakening such basic
concepts as "innocent until proven guilty".

I would like to suggest an overhaul of the current justice system.  In
particular, the right to bail for suspects of violent crime should be
limited in situations where the suspect is on parole, has previously
jumped bail or where the suspect has previously been convicted of a
violent crime.  The criminal justice system should further be
overhauled so that the trial for suspects in such cases will be given
high priority and processed in a week or so, as opposed to several
months now.

My reasoning behind this is that it would keep habitual violent
offenders locked up while awaiting a trial.  Although this proposal
would limit the suspects's rights, it would only apply where the
suspects have a violent past, so it can therefore be argued that
there is a good reason for keeping the suspect locked up.

In general, I feel that the current criminal problems the US suffers
is caused more by a general lack of accountability than anything else.
In both criminal and civil courts, there's a tendency NOT to hold
people responsible for their own actions.  Drunk drivers are able to
sue bars, bartenders, car manufacturers and highway engineers.  Cop
killers are allowed to argue that the *music* they were listening to
made them do it.  The other day, the Post had a note about a murderer
who successfully sought civil damages from his psychiatrist because
the psychiatrist wasn't available when the murderer needed him.  In
Friday's Post (p A3) there was a note about how a convicted murderer
who was taking the sleeping pill Halcion won $2.15M from Upjohn (the
manufacturer of Halcion) and his doctor after he claimed that Halcion
changed his personality and made him kill a friend.

That's right, but it should be emphasized that it's 3rd Street NW.
In my previous followup I was thinking 3rd Street NE -- there's
an on-ramp from there too, but you have to cross the entire
Capitol Hill neighborhood to get to it. For somebody coming

The dra.com catalog (which bills itself, with qualifiers, as the LC
catalog) isn't that great. The LoC did have an experimental program a
few years ago where selected institutions were allowed dial-up access
to the catalog. I know that the current Librarian intends to make the
catalog (& the collections!!!) electronically accessible, but don't
hold your breath.  By default, I think the best on-line catalog in the
USA is Melvyl.  It is the Union Catalog of all the University of
California libraries *and* all of the Cal State libraries. It is
fairly comprehensive and has a sophisticated interface. You can telnet
to it at melvyl.ucop.edu  (192.35.222.222).  As always the load is
lightest during the early morning (Pacific Coast Time)--important for
those doing large boolean searches.

There is only one way (as far as I've found).  When on B/W Pkway, take the Penn.
Ave exit.  This will take you into eastbound Penn Ave.  "Whoa," you say, "I wanna
go west to 395."  Well, as soon as you get onto Penn Ave, get onto the leftmost
lane (this means crossing 3 lanes of traffic).  You'll cross a bridge and you'll
see left turn lanes immediately afterwards.  Don't take it since it'll take you
to B/W Pkway northbound.  Instead keep going until you can make a U turn back
to westbound Penn. Ave.  (You have to go through a few lights before you can do
this.)

Once you're going in the right direction on Penn Ave, cross the bridge again and
then you'll see signs for 395 South.  Follow the signs.  At first you'll get on
Anacostia Freeway, which will finally dump you onto 395.

I know this is very contorted; but believe me, this is about the only way to do
it.  I have a theory that the Highway Admin. people must have run out of money and
decided to junk the idea of connecting Anacostia Freeway to 295.  Any thoughts on
this?

Take the Parkway to where you either head down NY Ave, or go left to the
Anacostia Freeway (I think that's its real name);  it's numbered 295.
Follow that south until you reach the exits for the 11th St bridge.

One exit takes you to a detour which leads (via a tortuous route which has
you headed back the way you came for about 20 - 30 seconds) onto 395 S, and
so to the 14th St. bridge to VA, and thus to Nat'l Airport (pay attention
and merge right ASAP when you reach the bridge - the exit for the airport
is the second one after the bridge ends).

The next exit allows one to cloverleaf around (take 3 leaves, there is no
fourth and it would put you back on 295 headed south, anyway) and end up
headed up onto the South Capitol St. bridge.  This is a more exciting trip,
since there's this well-designed no-merge-lane zone at the top of a ramp
directly into 50 mile-per-hour traffic.  You still end up on 395 S, just
a mile or so farther downstream than on the first route, and having risked
your life.

Good luck.

I did a little research and came up with Accel in Rockville.  About three
weeks ago I bought a 486-50 DX from them, and after comparing the price
I paid with prices advertized in the Computer Shopper magazine, I think
I got a great deal.  They were very pleasant and helpful and offer financing,

    Well, at least in the area of my home, north central Alexandria, I do

    were around before the election were all taken down in the first two
    days after the election.  However, there are still places on Van Dorn
