Hex grid paper is available at just about any hobby shop or book
store that caters to wargamers, actually.  There are also shops
specialising in games in many malls.  That's board/RPG games, not
computer games.

"It is not merely that I dislike, distrust and disbelieve anyone who 
seeks political office.  I would extend privacy rights even to 
politicians were it not for two countervailing circumstances.  First, 
they themselves violate privacy rights wholesale.  They regulate 
virtually everything that peaceful people can do behind closed doors, 
from taking drugs to having sex.  It is elitist hypocrisy for them to 
demand the privacy rights that they routinely deny to ordinary people.  
If a politician wishes me to respect his personal life, then he needs 
to respect mine."					Wendy McElroy
