I believe the word amen is from the Hebrew meaning "so may it ever be" and
according to Webster is commonly used at the end of a prayer.

Look, don't start again. Not unless you really want to get into it. (To
those interested, I was the one that offered a truce to Taranto. Even though
I was not the one that started this whole thing, I offered to be the one to
end it.) All he offered in way of response was a criticism on my spelling.
So much for sincerity!) I tried to end the war that you started, Taranto. If
you want to keep it up, fine by me. I tried. By the way, I want my copy of
"How to Win Friends and Influence People" back. It has obviously done you no
good.

Subject: Inflation
Date: 08/21/88 Time: 09:06:35
I still think Carter had little to do with the inflation of the early
'70s, and Reagan had little to do with the ending of it. I think that it
was more under control of the Federal Reserve, and that Carter's appointment
of Paul Volker had more to do with ending double-digit inflation than
anything Reagan did. He was just fortunate enough to be president when
inflation died down.
I still assert that presidents try to take credit for good things that
happend during their tenure, and try to blame bad things on Congress or the
previous adminstration, regardless of who really casued them.

Hey, I think Rod has a point. If a convenience store clerk is so
sensitive a job that a lie detector test is warranted, why shouldn't
presisdential candidates take one? Or does selling beer and cigarettes have
a greater impact on national security than the Commander-in-Chief of the
armed forces?

Actually, Cliff is thinking of pulling us all out of there. We're showing
too much intelligence of late - also, Zak has quite drooling - I'm less of
an ASSp as usual and Rod is becoming more and more a person of the 80s
instead of the sixties. At the rate it's going - only JT will be left alone
in there with his category of (J)T intellectual snob!! That hasn't changed.
By the way David - what was your category when you were in there?? =*--ANNIE
