Did a big factoring run today but I am STILL not (...) (25 years ago, 19-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

| I know this is a big snip but I want to make room for my rant... (...) And therein lies the flaw with Democracy. I have done nothing to deserve the penalty of being a subject of the majority rule.
