- I realize that the MX missile is none of our concern. I realize that
- the whole point of living in a democracy is that we pay professional
- congresspersons to concern themselves with things like the MX missile
- so we can be free to concern ourselves with getting hold of the
- plumber.

- But from time to time, I feel I must address major public issues such
- as this, because in a free and open society, where the very future of
- the world hinges on decisions made by our elected leaders, you never
- win large cash journalism awards if you stick to the topics I usually
- write about, such as nose-picking.
