IF - All's well then :) My apologies too for cranking up the temparature a bit there :) Agreed, the RPP thing is a shame. It discredits democracy. There is nothing to fear about the RPP. That's one spent force IMHO (you and others can disagree). Even if it isn't, it can be challenged and I'd argue defeated electorally. The Maoists are bashing the Monarhcy as a pressure tactic against the Congress and UML and I feel this is what this is all about. As always you remain my favorite critic of the system :) Maverick - Phew! LOL ... you got the mercury jumping there for a moment ...he he :)
