What makes them think a tribute to it will appease anyone? The bird didn't valiantly choose to give his life for this far from noble cause. _________________________ Editor: Movies/Celebrities/Crosswords "To insult someone we call him 'bestial'.

Not a jot...it must still be too painful for them to talk about, that's it...I just hope the little guy left some 'mementos' in yet-to-be-discovered places!
