I *do* notice that most people put words into

No wonder you don't need to think!

        Just got back from a day at the Circus...   First one I have been to
in Arizona.   It was great sharing it with Sandy and the Boys...
Was anyone else there?  We were at Portal 6 Section 312, row 25.

I'm actually much more concerned with why God would design testicles to only
function properly in an environment of lower temperature than that of the
rest of the body. His oversight causes all males to suffer a rather
substantial degree of vulnerability.

  No, he really did look for the Ark, though he didn't find it.  He did a
lot of weird stuff, especialy towards the end of the war.  He tested the
theory that the Earth is really the *inside* of a sphere, so he sent some
people to the Indian Ocean to focus a telescope straight up, to spy on the
US.

  Let's put it this way:  maybe (or maybe not) he has done enough bad things
to be taken out of office, but has he done enough to warrant it being put to
a vote?  Remember, if in the recall election no one better comes along, yyou
can just vote for Ev again.
  My feeling is that if there is ever a question as to whether something
should be on the ballot, it should be on the ballot.

his lawyer is a real jerk, too.  He's resisting telling anything up to the

You've read the post on Hitler! I get the opinion your well read on the
subject. IS all of this belief in Black Magic, Tarot, Lost arc of the
Covenant, true or was it speculation and head line grabbing?

We woman (I'm taking for granite that most women, at least the ones I know
will not mind if I use "we) do not think it is a here and there situation.
You do not understand me here. IF I go apply for a job tomorrow and one of
those "here and There" situations prevail, then I am being discriminated
against ndd not free!! Chances are that would not happen to you. My chances
are a lot higher. You didn't answer my question on minorities. Why should I,
as a women and in the Majority EVER be considered a minority on someone's
hiring list??? I DO NOT want to be a "quota"!!! Surely you can understand
that. Would it not make you feel degraded? --- ANN

How can Jesus and Mary be a Mexican name? I don't even think the Mexican
race had really came into being at the time of Christ! I think they just
name each other after them is all. Isn't the Mexican race comprised of
Spanish and local indians? (Inca Mayan?) Didn't Cortez come to Mexico around
1500 1600 A.D. IF so, didn't the Spanish bring over the name Mary and Jesus?

   All that I said before was from books I've read about the Nazi side of
the war... The OTHER thing that I find interesting is that there are
references to Hitler and the Nazi regime in Nostradamus' book of
predictions. If I'm able to locate the references again, I'll post them.

Wrong.  Nostradamus talked about the river Hister, which some popular
accounts have mistranslated to look like it's talking about Hitler.
There is an article in an old issue of The Skeptical Inquirer about the
predictions of  Nostradamus which debunks them.  (The article was written by
one of the consultants to the Phoenix Skeptics, by the way--Charles Cazeau.)

...
  There was a quarter-page advertisement in the London
*Observer* for a computer service that will enmesh your name
in an electronic network of fifty thousand other names, sort
out your tastes, preferences, habits, and deepest desires 
and match them up with opposite numbers, and retrieve for 
you, within a matter of seconds, and for a very small fee,
friends.  "Already," it says, "it (the computer) has given
very real happiness and lasting relationships to thousands 
of people, and it can do the same for you!"
  Without paying a fee, or filling out a questionaire, all 
of us are being linked in similar circuits, for other 
reasons, by credit bureaus, the census, the tax people, the
local police station, or the Army.  Sooner or later, if it
keeps on, the various networks will begin to touch, fuse, 
and then, in their coalescence, they will start sorting and
retrieving each other, and we will all become bits of 
information on an enormous grid.
  I do not worry much about the computers that are wired to
help me find a friend among fifty thousand.  If errors are
made, I can always beg off with a headache.  But what of the
vaster machines that will be giving instructions to cities,
to nations?  If they are programmed to regulate human
behavior according to today's view of nature, we are surely

in for apocalypse.
  The men who run the affairs of nations today are, by and
large, our practical men.  They have been taught that the
world is an arrangement of adversary systems, that force is
what counts, aggression is what drives us at the core, only
the fittest can survive, and only might can make more might.
Thus, it is in observance of nature's law that we have
planted like perennial tubers, the numberless nameless 
missiles in the soil of Russia and China and our Midwestern
farmlands, with more to come, poised to fly out at a 
nanosecond's notice, and meticulously engineered to ignite,
in the centers of all our cities, artificial suns.  If we 
let fly enough of them at once, we can even burn out the
one-celled green creatures in the sea, and thus turn off the
oxygen.
  Before such things are done, one hopes that the computers
will contain every last bit of relevant information about 
the way of the world.  I should think we might assume this,
in fairness to all.  Even the nuclear realists, busy as 
their minds must be with calculations of acceptable levels
of megadeath, would not want to overlook anything.  They
should be willing to wait, for a while anyway.

There was a news/information report tonight on one of the Christian radio
stations that Christopher "Kip" Shippy, the 16-year-old who founded the
Mecham Fan Club, was convicted of molesting an 8-year-old child two years
ago, and placed  on 18 months probation.

Hey!  You missed the point of my message completely!
 
It was a government contract...I was filling in the
blanks...our business is a Sole Proprietorship.....
We would get brownie points if we <1> Hired from minority
groups <2> If the business is owned by a WOMAN! 
 
That had nothing to do with a feminist mentality...them
was the facts!  
 
speaking of Sole Proprietorships/ HE & CV Graham dba Alfa-Bet Signs of
Arizona.
       The interesting part is that HE is REALLY considered
to be the owner - only his Social Security is paid into each
year - and the whole system is inequitable, to say the least.
      We learned two years ago that he can pay me and not
have to even deduct SS for me!   Yet, I cannot pay him.
What a ripoff!

Yeah...I don't think too much of Ev, and Kip Shippy is scum in my book, but
wwhen I saw how they used that on the news to create an association between
Mecham and molestation...I had to admit that maybe some of his "media bias"
charges are valid.
Now I know Mecham hasn't been above using personal slurs to create similar
associations in the public mind with some of his opponents, but do you
imagine that for one instant if it was discovered that the head of the Bruce
Babbit fan club (if there is such a thing) was similarly unsavory; do you
imagine that the news stations would treat it in quite the same fashion?

Just goes to show you that what JT says is true......there are an 
awful lot
of molestors out there.  In fact, when JT becomes famous, the media 
will
discover that he has molested Rae Ackerman.

Nah, Ann....Jesus is purely a Mexican name....the mid-east boys decided 
they
liked the sound of it (but they didn't know the REAL meaning at the 
time)
and used it in their made-up-story about a boy savior.
  Jes-us means, in Spanish to have gas on the stomach.

He had a warped sense of humor, but I thought you knew that.
  I liken God to when I was a young lad and I would find a large 
ant hill,
encircling it with lighter fluid (before butane) and watch them babies 
burn.
 If I ever become famous this will be used against me.
  Well, anyhow, this is just what God is doing to us, He is watching 
wars
and accidents, seeing people get blown apart and He also like to 
watch
people molest each other and that is why there are so many molesters.
  God moves in mysterious ways.
God used to be a very bored person until he dreamt us up strictly 
as a lark,
he was drunk at the time, having not invented Alcopoco Gold as of 
yet.
  Man was not a good enough invention for Him so he invented woman 
to give
us something to fight with.  I guess Him making people different 
colors and
speak different wasn't good enough, not enough fights.

When woman can do a mans job then they will be entitled to equal 
pay.  Have
you ever seen a woman hold a screwdriver or throw a ball?  
  There was this female locksmith working out of Park Central Key 
Shop a few
years back and I had to go rescue her many a time (for 50% of the 
job).  She
now works in the warehouse of a local locksmith supply house but 
the guys
have to lift the really heavy boxes.
  When the media shows an arm wrestling match they pit girls against 
girls
and men against men.   Why not pit woman against men?  I know why.
  True, woman are as intelligent as men, some more so, some not and 
when
this is true then the female commands and gets equal recognigition 
and PAY. 
A smart female can and does prosper, no question, it is the so-so 
females
that bitch the most.
  Into a room walks a placid woman, so what, nobody really takes 
notice but
let an intelligent woman with moxy walk into that same room and turn 
every
head in the place, it is charisma, how one thinks.
