That isn't so. The French were in there for years prior to our
involvement. In fact, they warned us that it was a tar baby
from which we would never be able to gracefully extricate ourselves,
once we became involved.

No, an alcoholic is ADDICTED to alcohol. They can no more
quit drinking without help than a heroin addict can quit
mainlining without help. Their body chemistry has changed
in such a way that they 'need' alcohol in order to just
function normally. Some get drunk; some don't. Some drink
on a more or less regular schedule; some are intermittent;
but all are addicted, else they are not alcoholics.
Habitual drinkers can and often do stop on

'Everything that lives and moves, huh.' Try eating a lot of
plants, and they'll quite ceremoniously 'plant' you! Another
lie is found in the Bible by an inerrantist. Wadda surprise!

There's a whole book written on this topic, the name of which
eludes me at the moment. The long and the short of it is that
politics quickly became entrenched, and the scraps that were
in the jurisdiction of a particular individual were quickly
assumed to be the legacy of a pet kiss-ass who worked with
that individual. Also, there was fear that the scrolls contained
material that would make a fool out of current doctrine and
dogma in the

SPLIT: 11 Jan 99 01:50:27 @105/40 2 02/02 to make ultimate use of the unique opportunity posed by the millennium's
end, Pope John Paul II prepares for the great harvesting. He has issued
an edict which declares the year 1999 a Holy Year and guides Catholics on
the pathway to heaven. Reminding at medieval practices, which once sparked
Martin Luther's Reformation, the edict includes ways of earning indulgences,

Lonnie has a new cause, ripe for the picking. Some gay students at
one of our two universities wants a floor in some of the dorms
just for gay people. They say that there is no place on campus
where they can just kick back and be themselves, with no
self-consciousness. They aren't interested in their own dorm, so
much as just space that is theirs alone. Lonnie is bound to call
that 'special rights' for gays, even though other
Small Favor
That confirms what I would have expected. The clown on Politically
Incorrect was using the old name-dropping trick. Unfortunately, it
worked quite well with the group that was gathered that night.
Dishonesty never bothers these clown at all, does it?

Almost. That's Murphy's Law, Fifth Corrolary:
In a heirarchy, as in a septic tank,
The big chunks always rise to the top.
I had that on the back of my typewriter when I worked with a
bunch of civil engineers. My boss, once removed, happened to see
it and probably knew it was directed at him. He said, "cute, but
it isn't quite true. As a civil engineer I can tell you that
actually, it's the little chunks that sink

It's the Cadillac of long-haul trucks. Of course, somebody
who spends more time driving a plane than they do a car
probably wouldn't know that.

I thought about that after I posted what I did. My answer would
be:
Oh, about half a Dr. Ruth and two fundies.

Lithium is a naturally occurring chemical, sometimes found in
water. Ashland, Oregon has a fountain in its park that provides
'lithia water' to the populace every minute of every day.
Lithium is used to treat bipolar disorder, also known as manic
depressive syndrome.

Plus, they are guilty of idolatry.

They, too, are fundies. They don't think we should be using
ANY animals for medical research not even MICE! They
don't want us wearing leather goods, or eating meat of any
kind.

Thanks for the report. I hope you remembered to say 'hi' to
'Bulldog Curry' for me.

Evolution is Mythology!
Yes. What I'm going through is a good example of the problem.
I am now finishing up my second round with doxycycl, after completing
one round of Bactrim. I still have the infection, and will call my
doctor tomorrow to see where we go from there. Resistant strains of
bacteria are a bitch.

And, spleenless bodies got that way through SURGERY, which
means that their offspring HAD spleens, even though the
parent(s) didn't.

I wouldn't brag about it.

I just finished reading _The Mormon Murders_. Quite a tale.
Those guys are sure paranoid about their scamming founder's
past, aren't they?
Apologies
You probably should have looked at it a bit closer. Seventh-day
Adventists believe that the AntiChrist will be a Catholic Pope.
They rely on the Ten Commandments for their belief in the same
Sabbath as the Jews celebrate (remember the Sabbath Day to keep
it holy).
They are strong believers in a literal interpretation of the
Book of Revelation.

Those are the Bill of Rights. But they weren't given to us,
but, rather, We the People RETAINED those rights under the
Constitution. There was considerable debate at the
Constitutional Convention about whether they ought to be
spelled out in the original document. The antis won, on the
premise that spelling them out led the reader of the document
to the conclusion that those were the only rights We the People
had. The fact is, We the People have ALL
