            Dean.... Taking Apollo down would have nothing to do with a
    differance of opinion with another user...  What gets to me is 6 hrs of no
    callers...not so much as even a wrong number.  In fact, there have been
    times I have stated almost opposit of what I really feel to get people
    going.  And, it works if you ask me.  The board seems to slow down the most
    when I don't post for a while.  A debate is only intersting if there are two
    or more sides.  The worst ones are when all agree.
            As for the hours... it will remain at 24 hrs so to be fair to ALL
    users.
            Freedom of speech also applies to SYSOPs (even if we are the scum of
    the earth) (but let me add, above lawyers and insurance sales men.)

    Disney Land.  He can't face a debate or make a decision on his own. He can't
    even type in upper and lower case or he is afraid to switch off his upper
    case lock.  Too much to ask....

    I agree with you that the best debates are those in which there is wide
    disagreement.  I think you'll find all of us are pretty much unanimous on
    that.

    It's unfair for you to refer to Rod as "sick." He is no sicker because of
    his beliefs than you or I. You judge an entire man's life because he has no
    need for a god. That really annoys me.

    Besides, I was referring to the Haight-Ashbury that still exists in Rod's
    twisted little mind, the H/A of the 60,s in which he still lives.
    As you pointed out, the district has changed, as all things are subject to
    change. Rod's mind, however, can't comprehend, much less accept change, save
    for those "changes" he would like to see society make.

    1. I do not judge. God Himself has taken over that awesome responsibility. I
    form and voice opinions, as do all the other users of this fine (24 hour)
    BBS.
    2. If I really annoy you, you have as much right to express your opinion as
    I do, and I can appreciate that. It's what makes for good BBSing.
    3. My "judgement" (opinion) is based on far more than just Rod's supposed
    lack of need of God, but on the entire scope of his anti-God, anti-Christian
    philosophy that causes him to be very insulting and demeaning to everyone
    who confesses their need for God and/or their thankfullness for all that God
    has done in their lives. I have a much broader base for my opinions than you
    give me credit for, and your annoyance annoys me. So there!
    Have a nice day.(smile)

    In my own family, this still prevails. I've been told my husband's mother's
    mother (got that?) was a real Bible thumper and spent 45 years of her
    marriage trying to convert her husband to 'the right faith'! She didn't! But
    it took it's toll on my mother-in-law because even today she worries
    that her father is in hell. And not only that, because she herself doesn't
    go to church, she suffers the pains of hell on earth. Now I don't understand
    why she doesn't simply go! Or quit wringing her gut about it - but she's in
    a constant struggle with herself. On top of that - during the 40s - her
    brother married a Catholic and their mother never forgave or saw him again.
    This also took it's toll - because my mother-in-law never saw him again
    either for fear her mother would do the same to her. He got killed by a
    train at 41 yrs. old and she has never forgiven herself! Her mother died in
    the late 50s and she's been living in misery ever since. Makes a lot of
    sense doesn't it? She's 81 years old now and won't change. It's very sad.
    The power of religious brain washing is indeed very powerful!

            It appears that DeConweenie is dodging the public as well as
    Arizona's organized gun and rifle associations.
            There was a meeting to be held tonight at DeConcini's Phoenix
    office. This meeting has been postponed by DeConini until this Wednesday.
    I called his Phoenix office and they told me they knew of no such metting
    taking place on Monday or Wednesday. After making a few more phone calls, I
    am led to believe that DeConcini is trying to confuse the public. He seems
    not to want any large crowd to gather around his office for fear it would
    attrack the news media.
            The meeting to talk to DeConini is being scheduled for this
    Wednesday at 6 p.m. The organizers will not take another postponement. It
    will be held on Wednesday at 6 p.m. even if DeConini's doors are locked.
    So, come out all you bodies ....... stand up and be counted.
            Sad to say, there are  people from other parts of Arizona who
    are showing up tonight. There will be someone there to tell them of the time
    change. I hope to see them on Wednesday, too.

            There was an interesting article in last weeks New Times concerning
    the Hemlock Society.  It is made up of people who want control over their
    deaths.  The reporter pointed out that the members are all highly
    intelligent.  He also reported that in Holland injections to end the life of
    a suffering individual were legal.  WOW.   I keep finding out more and more
    about the Nederlands.  Drugs are legal, they have a hell of a social system,
    prostitution is legal, abortion is legal, and death is legal.  The
    injections have been legal for five years now.
            Yes, Paul, I am taking contributions in order to move there.

            Anyway, Ann, your message about the damage that religion has done is
    very interesting.  I don't know of a case of damage by a non-religion.  In
    fact, all this Satanism crap that is making the news is interesting in that
    it too is Christianity based.  Hmmmm.  Thanks.

            At least my beard belongs to me and is grown by me.  People think
    you have a beard, but they should know it is just a mass of hair you got
    caught in your teeth giving Blow Jobs, and it just hangs out all over your
    face looking like a poorly groomed beard.
            The only locks you can pick are mens trouser zippers, and you use
