    Sorry I couldn't make it. My husband was out of town for five days, he got
    home at 6:PM the night of the GT! I didn't feel that I wanted to leave him
    as soon as he walked in the door. I did want to see you and Bonnie again and
    all the Apollo members that went. Next time! -=*) ANN (*=-

            Cliff and I made it to the GT ........
    Was a small gathering, but it was fun!
    Sometimes small parties are better than BIG parties.
            Dean and Bonnie sure know how to give a GT!
            You all missed out on a good one this time ........

    Sandy, Romantic is a "technical" term that indicates a story is written in a
    manner that reflects how the author wishes the world were, not how it
    actually is.  I think what you are referring to is Romance, which refers to
    a "love story."

    I guess I'm wrong - I ALWAYS thought they DID screen the immigrants!? I'm
    not talking about the 'Green Carder's' who come over the border everyday to
    work or the ones that do the field work farther in. I wasn't aware that we
    OWE them anything such as medical etc.
    I say if they come here to work, let them pay taxes! We DO NOT have a
    Libertarian Gov. at this time, so why not?
    I DO NOT think Libertarians are bleeding hearts in the least. How can they
    be when they profess to wanting to give people more of their own choices and
    leaving the government's nose out of it?
    I don't believe in borders at all! What's bleeding heart (which has a
    negative sound to it) about wanting to help the Mexican people? We all live

    drum and we were discouraged. But voila, there was one little place that had
    a clear view of a turn on the track and fairly close too. We watched the
    half hour warm up and it was as good as the $35 dollar apiece standing room

    up and get the shaded grandstand seats to this fabulous race. Phoenix

            I always thought that the reason for getting married was because

    The purpose of a marriage contract is, as Hamilton points out, to extend
    certain economic benefits to families, and to provide economic security to
    the wife and children in case the marriage falls apart.  A "piece of paper"
    is not a marriage, and a couple may consider itself married before God or
    before each other without entering into a legal union.  Homosexuals may, I
    suppose, consider themselves "married" as well, as bizarre as that idea may
    seem to me.  But because they cannot have families, homosexual couples
    should not be accorded any legal benefits.  I agree that homosexuals should
    be free to engage in their vices, so long as they are consenting adults.
    But the government should not subsidize homosexuality.

       Heck, I didn't like Mecham, period. And it wasn't based on rumors, or
    media blitzing. I could care less about the Phoenix 40. Mecham's own words
    were his own downfall in my mind. An old saying reflects this best: "Better
    to keep your mouth shut, and have people think you're an idiot, than to open
    it and remove all doubt." If he had simply known the proper times to shut
    up, perhaps I could have even liked him.

    I consider it a relief only due to the fact that for a (short) while, the
    world will be able to breathe a little bit easier. That is until we see what
    Ali Khameini has planned. I hear that he is going to be more of a
    figurehead, and that there might be some moderatism in Iran's future. What
    the man did was wrong. However, we are taught to hate sin, but love and pray
    for all. To me that includes Khomeini. What he did was wrong, and I
    certainly do not defend the many things he has done. However, I cannot
    personally hate the man, and I cannot find glee in anyone's death. I am
    certainly relieved in the knowledge that perhaps the gates are at least
    partially opened toward diplomatic relationships with a more moderate Iran.

    People's Liberation Army? Liberating them from what? Freedom? Democracy?
    To "liberate" can also mean to "steal." In that respect, the name fits. The
    Army and the People are one, sayeth the late Deng Xiao Peng. If that is
    true, the Army is committing suicide. Unarmed students with an idea and a
    hope, gunned down in cold blood, many in the back, by their own Government.
    If you pray, please say a prayer for those brave Chinese youth, willing to
    die for the right of DEMOCRACY. May this crimson example of the heartless
    cold iron fist of Communist rule kindle the fires inside the heart of every
    Chinese citizen. Let them open their eyes, and see their Government killing
    ...murdering their own children, children that only wish to speak their mind
    and protest in a non-violent fashion. Let them clench their fists and fight
    for what's right.

            People can be educated on Alcohol and there are clinics to help

            I have nothing against good people moving in and adding their
    talents to our work force.  However, I would like it to continue as is with
    screening the new immigrants for such things as crime records, DISEASE, and
    the such.  I wonder sometimes if you people ever THINK what could happen
    with an unchecked influx of people from EVERYWHERE!
            I figured I would hear the word 'DISCRIMINATION' screamed from a
    few users such as Mr Westfall.  They are so paranoid, they are afraid
    to look past their noses at real problems.
            While we are at it, Ann said she does not like borders....
    Well, screening at borders sometimes stop or slow down the spread of disease
    in people, plants, fruit, and other products.  It sort of keeps check on the
    rapid spread of all sorts of problems.  But I don't suppose short sighted
    people would see that.  I am also to take Ann is for a one world government?

    I am not totally opposed to a One World Government - ours of course. Ha ha.
    I nievely wish that all the poor countries of this world and the war torn
    etc. could be taken over by America and have all that we have, especially
    Mexico, being so close but yet so far! But we have our own problems to work
    out re: the government which has become a little dictator in it's own right.
    From what I've seen in Mexico - in a sense, the people are more free the we
    are - unfortunately, they go hungry and live in squalor for the most part.
    If we could only combine the two - we could be more free and they would go
    less hungry! We could at least help them by opening the border more than we
    have. All you hear is a cry from us that their taking our jobs away from us
    and I say 'Hog Wash'! You can hardly get Americans to work in the fields. If
    they do, they want a union and high wages. -=*) ANN (*=-

    Witch hunting for homosexuals in public office is one instance of him
    speaking his mind that I personally detested. Why would he need a list of
    homosexuals in public office? I do not condone their personal lifestyles,
    but I do not see where that affects their performance in their duties.

    Give me one single instance, JUST ONE, where I said that I felt the
    Democratic party could do no wrong. JUST ONE. You can go back as far as you
    want into the message base here as you want. Months. Years. Please do so,
    I'd like to see what you can dig up. I do not regard the Democratic party as
    some shining tower of pure ivory, as you would have the users on this board
    think. There is not a single political party in this country that I could
    possibly give such a glowing report to. Condemn me if you wish, for choosing
    the party that I've chosen because it comes CLOSEST (but never close enough)
    to my way of thinking. That does not mean that I agree 100% with everything
    they stand for or do, and I challenge you to find any statement that I've
    ever said on here that contradicts what I've just said.

    ...as long as they agree with yours?

    Did I in any way direct that message to you? I was reflecting what I have
    seen to be overall sentiment concerning the situation. If you take it
    personally, perhaps it is you that is paranoid.

    Gee, does anyone actually take their anger with them once they've left the
    board? I thought this was all in fun. Oh, it IS! I thought so! (handshake)

    Not a chance, Ann.  He'll be back.  He's like Mecham.

    Witch hunting for homosexuals?  That's what the media would like you to
    think.  Mecham, during a KTAR talk show, was asked his stand on
    homosexuality.  He replied that since it was against the law, he was against
    government people practicing it.  The caller asked him if he was going to
    seek out these people.  Mecham replied that the caller should "Show me a
    list," in a rather jestful tone.

    That's your witch hunt, eh?

    Maybe you should ask James Taranto about that.

    I am interested in obtaining some hints for one of
    the King's Quest Series put out by Sierra, Inc.
    The game in question if The Perils of Rosella.  I
    haven't noticed a gaming board on-line here, but
    perhaps someone can direct me to another system.

    Can anyone help me?

    Thanks,
       Mike

    I heard the broadcast you are speaking of. And though he might explain it
    away as a jestful comment, I didn't read it in his voice as such, and at the
    very least, it was another display of his poor sense of humor, his bigotry,
    and his small-mindedness. One need only put two and two together (the
    context of the discussion and his comments). I seem to remember that the
    announcer was caught off guard by his comment. Apparently he did not detect
    it as a simple attempt at humor.

            A fairly  large percentage of the government is made up of gay men
    and women.  When they subsidize homosexuality, they are helping themselves.
            I reckon even in the early days, the sheriff's tax collectors would
    go to each individual homestead and extract the king's share of the tithes
    set forth in the laws of the particular land of residence.  Therefore if a
    man and woman were living together instead of each having a separate house
    then I guess they too would save a bit of their crops.
            Oh well.
