This makes sense. Consider the origins of our term "Fascist". The Mussolini gov't used it of themselves. They wanted to bring back the former glory of the ancient Romans. This is evidenced in the etymology--"fascist" from "fascii"--a sheaf of wheat used as a symbol of the Roman people (IIRC). Clint __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
