    Tobacco is addicting - so is booze - coke - tea - and marijuana. My
    ex-son-in-law is addicted to the latter and admits it! =+=ANN=+=

            Which is all right .......

    Apollo is not dangerous to your health.

    Although, I will have to admit we have not, as of yet, been approved by the
    FDA.

    Just ask the satisified owner of a Porsche 928 or 944s. It just isn't a
    problem with Nickasil. Actually, it's not even that big of a deal without

    Gloves are generally worn by persons coming in contact with infected body
    fluids because there is a small possibility that the AIDS virus could enter
    the skin through abrasions too small to see with the naked eye.

    Even if the virus does manage to enter the blood stream, the individual
    apparently does not always become infected. It is not known precisely what
    qunatity of the virus is necessary to cause seroconversion.

    For a very detailed article on suggested precautions for health care
    workers, log on to the St. Joseph Hospital BBS (235-9653) and enter the AIDS
    file section. You'll find that article aw well as dozens of others that
    should put your mind at ease.

    Rod, or course every one who dies a violent death does not deserve it, nor
    did I ever imply such a horrible thing. Simply because I believe, as the
    Bible states, that God knows our end from the beginning, does not mean that
    God has removed our portion of self-control or our freedom to choose to do
    stupid things that get us in trouble, or even killed.
    However, to get involved with you in this sort of discussion is to get
    involved in a theological discussion with you, and this is something I
    determined a long time ago to never do. TO do so would be to give you yet
    another outlet to vent your unfounded and indescribable hatred of anything
    connected with God, and especially with Christianity, and I just don't feel
    like giving you that opportunity.
    Let's leave it at that, and you have yourself a nice day. OK?

     I hear what you are all saying, Nick, JT, et al, but really, all we have is
    what we read, and we have had plenty of evidence in other areas lately that
    indicate that the government can control what we read, at least to a certain
    extent. Scientific labs could be coming up with all sorts of information
    that the government is squelching or refusing to release to the public in
    fear of a nationwide panic.
    I'm not saying that you are all wrong, nor am I adamantly saying that this
    is happening in this case. I am just seeing that there is a possibility of
    such a scenario. A colossal cover-up. A govt. sponsored denial of the
    people's right to know.
    Perhaps the disease is more widespread than we know. Perhaps it is being
    controlled to a degree without real knowledge of it's severity being
    advertised. I know that I am writing worst possible scenarios, and perhaps
    am even delving into science-fiction, but even a remote possibility of such
    a thing is certainly worth some consideration, don't you think?

    Paul....
         My opinion is only that...
    Opinion.  I don't presume to say that my opinions are "Truth."  I will
    not presume to say that I know what the Creator has in mind for us or
    what She has revealed as truth or whatever.  I don't believe that queers
    are born,  I believe that they are made so by environmental factors as
    they grow up, which is why I object to having them teach my kids in
    school, and why I object to having them in any position where they can
    influence children.  Kids have enough bad pressures today from broken
    homes and lack of role models.

         I really don't know why She would allow homosexual perversion to
    exist, and I sure don't think that what I believe in is really Her truth.

    I wanted to tell you about the great time we had yesterday so you all will
    do it too. We went up to Canyon Lake and went for a steam boat ride all
    around the lake - for 90 minutes! What a beautiful, serene fun time and I
    recomend it to one and all. It's not hard to get there - the road - highway
    88 (Apache Trail out of Apache Junction) is a little curved but not too bad
    and takes about 1/2 to get to the lake. The boat will hold 68 people and has
    an upper and lower deck - a snack bar and restroom. There is a running
    narration of the history of the area and rock formations. It runs twice
    daily on the week ends at noon and 2:PM - you don't really need reservations
    and the price is $8.50 a ticket. Fun for the whole family. The only thing
    the boat lacked was booze, a dixieland jazz band and a Blackjack table! Ha
    ha haha.
    One warning - don't bother going to Tortilla Flats which they will advertise
    on the boat - it isn't a ghost town at all - the restaurant, if you want to
    call it that, is an expensive burger joint - they sell beer at 100% profit
    and the gift shop is real junk and outragiously priced. If you want to eat,
    I recommend the Mining Camp that's about a mile from Apache Junction on the
    same road. (The best ribs in the world in my opinion!)
    For you people that have boats - that lake is perfect for boating and or
    water skiing or even just boat watching. I did not know this place existed
    or about the riverboat until I saw a small ad in the paper about two weeks
    ago. Please give it a try and you will enjoy! =+=ANN=+=

    usually do or say something I regret.  I'll probably be on
    the CHR sig most of the time but will always scan the main board to see
    what's happening.  I usually try to advoid arguments but often get suck into
    them because I'm gullible.  I believe in God, the family, and the Great US
    of A.  I'm 100% capitalist, and I will vote for Bush.
    That ought to give you guys enough to form an opinion.  So, what do you
    think Ann?  Will I fit in here with all the athiests, Klu Klux Klanners,
    Hitler lovers, gays, Punkers, woman haters, men haters, dirty old men,

    You're being paranoid and silly.  Even in a totalitarian country, the
    government would have a hell of a hard time covering up a disease affecting
    millions of people.  Your theory has about as much going for it as the
    Soviets' explanation for AIDS (it was created in CIA labs) and the
    explanation of black radicals in Chicago (it was created by Jewish doctors
    to inflict blacks).

      The *Los Angeles Times* reported that a "rogue radio
    operator who calls himself 'The Filipino Monkey' has been
    interjecting jokes and taunts into radio conversations
    between ships at the southern end of the Persian Gulf for at
    least three years."
      According to one official, "He started out by playing music
    and then by taunting other seamen, usually Filipinos, with
    curses in the middle of the night."  However, his comments
    took on a different tone with the escalation of attacks on
    shipping by Iran and Iraq and the arrival of American naval
    ships.
      In one instance, an Iranian gunboat had closed in on a
    freighter and the Iranian captain had radioed a message,
    "What is your cargo?  What is your cargo?"
      The "Monkey" interjected, "I am carrying machine guns and
    hand grenades for Iraq...and an atom bomb."

    It says that Satan was God's favorite angel - but satan was jealous of God's
    power and he rebeled - so thats' when God sent him to his own kingdom down
    below - with his own powers to do what he wished with us poor human beings.
    It seems to me that satan now has more powers than God because more bad goes
    on in this world! Have you noticed that satan always temps the people and
    God does not? Satan seems to be here but God doesn't.
    That is what the Bible says - however, I do not believe in satan!

    Ann, Neither do I believe there is a Satan, nor do I believe there is a
    creator but if I had to believe that one of them existed, judging from the
    way this world is, I'd have to say there was a Satan, yes.
