I've already decided that I'l be the world's first president. My campaign will tell everybody that I'm scrapping tax on booze, fags and fuel. I'll just avoid any questions about paying for anything. I've currently got seven votes, only another 3 1/2 billion to go. Once in power my first move will be to ban all programming languages except Python, that should cut down on the flame wars a bit. Cheers. Mark Lawrence.
