	Bruce, I don't know where you learned logic, but I'd get my
	money back. :)

	A negative assertion cannot be proven.  For example:

		There is no such thing as little green men.

	This is an inherently unprovable assertion.  If you can
	find a way to prove it, I suspect you will be on the
	Nobel short list.  Just because no little green men have been
	discovered, it doesn't follow that none exist.
