Re: [OpenVerse] OpenVerse Rapid Transit.

[Jeff Largent <jlargent@cfl.rr.com>]

How about just making the first room you enter just have thumbnails
of all the rooms available.  Kind of like entering irc, when you first
log on you are not in any room.  
This would allow others to create their own room just like irc, and 
provide image for the room.

Are we at last brought to such a humiliating and debasing degradation,
that we cannot be trusted with arms for our own defence? Where is the
difference between having our arms in our own possession and under
our own direction, and having them under the management of Congress?
If our defence be the *real* object of having those arms, in whose hands
can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in
our own hands?
