*************************************************
On November 21, 2001 the governor of the Commonwealth of PA approved the following act, which should be common sense, however is a cause for some concern and could be used as a precedent for other states to do this and worse.

Infil is so right! Think about what you do every time you leave home with your markers, or this could go from a bad to worse scenario! Don't give the authorities any more reason to take away more of what we have got. I too agree with "Be Safe, Be Smart, and follow all the rules" Remember "Think Smart, Play Safe!"~KK
