But I admire their conviction nonetheless. Now call me a raving pedant, but from this I would conclude that Josh is "right- of-moderate" (Sorry if you're not Josh, and I find these sort of labels tiresome and massively over-simplifying.) and he set up the `too bad' idea, not the "left of moderates" at all. Sorry to de-paranoia you there Novac :) As for the nonsense of left, right, moderate, whatever labels... `That they'd think less of anyone who just disagreed? She's just a pacifist, he's just a patriot If I said you were crazy, would you have to fight me?' ...as someone rather sensibly once said. (Actually more than once.) Another of my favourite `labels' quote is pinned to the wall of a charity office... `When I feed the poor they call me a saint. When I suggest they shouldn't be poor in the first place they call me a communist.' Pip pip Richard Tchah! Why does my news server always roll over and die whenever I want to say something serious?

(god i *hope* that's the right address ;) then chose hotels, and got this list. the distances given are thus miles from the IH. i have no idea whether it's mileage in driving distance or as the crow flies, though. and here is what i got.
