No warning labels? No Terms of Acceptance in which one certifies that one is 18 years of age or older or living in a country where freedom is more than a slogan?

Thanks for the warning, Fong. You've reminded me that my server is located in the most liberal location on the planet - Tejas.

We Navy types spent our time in cultural pursuits -- writing haiku, pruning our bonsai, and plotting how to beat the Army and Air Force teams at 8-man football.

Uh-huh. And, of course, writing haiku came No. 1 on that list, didn't it? I can just see it. (That's irony, ASp!)
