In the weekly AWAD e-mail received today, Monday, April 29, 2002, was a short discussion regarding the prefixes pro and con and how they are not necessarily opposites. I sometimes feel that they are direct opposites in the case of Progress and Congress.

Ha ha... not that I know too much about congress - being an Aussie and all - but I get your meaning! Anyway, I'm just here to say WELCOME - hope you enjoy your time here.

We have had congressmen who professed honesty, but eventually confessed to dishonesty.
