I'll try to get to all these questions, but in the meantime, I'll show you guys something I recently wrote for Traveller (with the help of the TML, actually). Be forewarned, however, it's political, so a lot of you may not like it. It was one of those things I just had to get off my chest, and I don't know my history (or my politics) as well as I probably should, so if anyone has comments, negative or otherwise, you know how to reach me.

Jeff, if you're still semi-interested in publishing this (or just part of it) in FT, please feel free. This is a re-edit/expansion of what I sent you some years back. Let me know if you want the ODT files.
