No name yet?  I hope you have a shortlist.  Whatever you pick has to last an
awfully long time.

Diapers, in my opinion, should come with a warning on the package: USE ONLY
IN A WELL VENTILATED AREA.

Congradulations(sp) James, I know the joys of fatherhood will out weigh the
problems. At least that is my prayer for you and your wife.

        I will urge Travis to log in when he gets back from vacation.
I am curious as to how he will resurrect me... May I suggest that us SysOps
don't get old...  Well, would you believe we act like little spoiled kids.

Re:  If I'm not mistaken state law REQUIRES a moment of silence.

You could be right.  Does anyone know for sure?  I do know that it's against
the law for a public school, or any government operated agency to promote
any religion.  That's why the ACLU has such a field day when they find a
manger scene or some such on government property.  Remember the big hub-bub
about the cross on the ASU campus about a year ago?  The lady should be
crying to the ACLU instead of the newspaper.  I'm sure they would be glad to
sue the school for her at no charge.

Re:  If you make it a collective right by passing an amendment, then you are
putting government in charge of controlling it -- telling you when and where
you can have your "moment of silence," and sooner or later you will be told
"how" praying is acceptable (example: silently or loudly, kneeling in a
corner or rolling on the floor speaking in tongues, etc.) and eventually you
will sure as hell (is that the right word?) be told to *whom* to pray -- you
can bet on it.

I agree with you when you say, "I am opposed to the movement to pass an
amendment to "allow" prayer in schools for two reasons" but I disagree with
your reasons.  The United States had a lot of prayer and various Christian
activity for about the first 200 years of history and none of your reasons
happened.  Why then should they happen now all of a sudden if prayer were
permitted again?

        Well, Happy New Year...  I sure hope that 1992 turns out better then
1991...  I do have a bad feeling however, that the belly of the beast is
about to pop, and all hell is going to break loose.  I hope I am WRONG!  I
would rather see more political awareness of what is going on in this
country, and we fire the lot of them at the polls, before it is too late!

          *************************


 1:It could be heaven or it could be hell.  But the very worst that can happen
 2:to someone is to be cast into the cosmos and that isn't bad at all.  Life is
 3:but a dream.  Remember what the door mouse said, "feed your head, fead your
 4:head."
 5:
 6:No matter how 'interesting' it becomes, it becomes.
 7:
 8:Earth will no longer be during one phase of our evolving life everafter. 
 9:Neither will flesh be needed anymore...nor FRNs...
10:
11:My, what an interesting phase we are experiencing now.  Change is needed,
12:big change.  I see a lot of prospects for the human race surviving these
13:interesting times but most would call me a commune-ist.  Oh well, as JT so
14:often said.  
15:
16:If people are not willing to share with each other regardless of race,
17:color, creed, religion and financial $tatus, then the human race may be
18:doomed to war and pestilence until enough members are gone that man may once
19:again have a new beginning.  The new technology will be utilized and past
20:mistakes will be avoided.  I'm like falling asleep so I will say bye.
