    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.

    We woman (I'm taking for granite that most women, at least the ones I know

    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?

    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.
