    Well, the only reason I have to stay in school is to take enough 400 level
    courses to meet their damn graduating requirement.  It doesn't matter what I
    take as long as I have 15 more hours at the 400 level.  I'll be glad when
    summer is here so that I can work full time, get some writing done and maybe
    even work on some other projects that have been put on hold for so long.
    Oh, and read some books for fun!  I haven't done that in a while.

    But this isn't really x-rated material.
    FUCK ASU.

     Your posts to Zak and Beau demonstrate a patience and forebearance that is
    really to be admired and respected Daryl, and I do. Your efforts to explain
    the truths of Biblical Christianity were well researched, thought out and
    presented. I can only hope that they will be received with the consideration
    they deserve.
     If I have judged too harshly in my past posts concerning some of Apollo's
    users, my sincere apologies are extended to any who may have been offended.
    I was merely reacting to some very sarcastic and caustic posts.
     I hope and pray that the doubters and scorners will read Daryl's posts with
    an open mind and heart, and that they will bring some light and reason to an
    area in your lives that seems to have been coveting darkness.
     Thank you Daryl, for doing as you have been led to do.

     (Sorry for the category. 'Twas a typo.)
     Actually, when we compare a 7.9% raise, the first one since 1987 with the
    requested increases for APS in the same time frame, it doesn't look all that
    bad. Of course, since everything seems to go up except my income, I don't
    think too highly of any more increases in my cost of living, but they seem
    to be a fact of life, so I'm not going to dwell too much on them.

      Thank you for your kind words, Paul. I can't take all the credit though.
    I'm not a pillar of patience, as anyone who has known me personally for any
    period of time knows. I have a reputation among family and friends for being
    a hot-head at times. But I can tell you this much: Jesus is showing me how
    to control my temper, and how to "mellow out" in times of stress. And it was
    His love for me that gives me the drive to explain and share His love with
    others. I'm growing in understanding every day, and I still have a long way
    to go. If it wasn't for God, I probably wouldn't be here today. (At least
    not the Daryl you know.)

    SRP increase. I didn't have the heart to tell her that it'll STILL BE

    I have trouble (spelling) with conspiracy theories. I prefer to use
    Occam's Razor on such things. It seems much more likely that the media
    ignores Libertarians because they are not interesting. The most interesting
    "Libertarian" we have had in this state is Sam Steiger, who was and is
    a very colorful person.

    The problem is that people don't want a Libertarian government. They don't
    mind paying taxes as long as the gov't provides the services they want for
    what appears to be a reasonable price. The government manages to do this by
    institutionalizing inflation, and by sneaky "tax-cuts" that somehow never
    end up with smaller budgets.

    Nevertheless, I think it would be interesting to talk about Libertarianism,
    and, since you have volunteered to enter more info, why don't you do so and
    maybe we all can learn some more about a real alternative.

      There are plenty of cases of lands which rightfully belonged to Indians
    being seized by others. Some of these cases are being investigated for
    possible action. Your lumping of the general in with the specific to make a
    charge against a particular family without evidence is not persuasive as it
    stands. Can you make it more persuasive, or not?

      I think moving the GT to the 28th would be a small price to pay for a
    possible rematch with Sandy. How many people can still make it then, Gary?,
    Mike? My friend says the 21st or 28th should be ok for him. If we do it on
    the 28th does that mean that Sandy can bring bowling pins?

    I wasn't really making a charge.  I was just stating something that I heard
    while in the Babbitt employee years ago.

    And I guess it really does not matter that much since, as I pointed out,
    humans have been pushing and shoving since man took the first step.

    I think if the 'white man' turned over all lands seized from Indians then I
    don't know where we'd be living.

    Roger/Libertarians,  I will post some more later.

    Well heck. I hate to see anyone left out or alienated because of
    prior commitements..but it just goes to say that you can't
    make everybody happy all of the time.
    Really, since my departure with the Army Guard, just about any
    weekend is good for me. If I have standby duty with the Airport
    I can always trade off with someone.
    Wether it be the 21st or the 28th is immaterial as far as my ability
    to make it...although I would like to see both Sandy and Gary Jones
    there...so maybe the first weekend in May ?

    are Saturdays and Sundays in May. I expect to be out of town on the

    Yes, I have been in the armed services--U.S. Army, Baker Company of the
    501st regiment of the 101st Airborne Infantry.  Also, served some with
    military intelligence.  No, was never a hero. No, don't think it is fun to
    shoot people; but when circumstances demand it and reason dictates that it
    is the prudent, honorable, and correct thing to do, I believe it best to be
    able to shoot well enough to avoid return fire. No, I have never been in a
    so-called "fire fight." Yes, have been shot at and missed, and was so scared
    that my6 return fire was probably not accurate, and my pants were wet. Still
    think it is important for Americans to not only bear arms, but know how to
    use them.

    I think everyone should have military training. I was lucky. I was in
    the AF between Korea and VietNam, so I didn't get shot at. However, I
    think that the experience of serving your own country is important and
    getting your head shaved and learning to live in an unpleasant world
    and coping with it is something that a lot of kids today don't know
    how to cope with. I think the Army and AF and Navy do a credible job
    of teaching people how to shoot. I got out with a Marksman's badge
    with the rifle, but couldn't shoot the .45 or .38. Worthless weapons,
    if you ask me. Give me a shotgun. Can't miss.

            "Give me a shotgun. Can't miss."

    Have you had much shotgun practice?
    I remember when I first started shooting the shotgun ...... I did miss.
    After I was taught how to use this particular weapon and how to properly use
    the sights on the shotgun, I became better. It was embarrassing, and rather
    mind boggling, to miss a pin right in front of me.
    Not only am I proficient with the shotgun, I am aware of the various ammo
    limitations .... the distance 00 Buck or #4, for instance, can be shot from
    and still maintain adequate stopping power.
    Now, for some humble pie confessions ..... I still can not hit a bowling pin
    at 50 or 100 Yards with a slug (gettin' there though).

    The bill is pure bullcrap.  Just another freedom gone flying.  If this bill
    sticks then watch because there will be more sexual perversion in the near
    future...but I think the kids will ignore it so I may be wrong.

    Good ole Mother Nature has we human animals ready at around 12 or 13, some
    sooner, some later, but my point is that when we are ready we are ready.

    Now, the current human social structure says that people are not ready at
    that age but at 18-21 at the least.

    Because Ma Nature and the ignorant human is out of sync of about 5 years or
    so with each other, plenty of sexual problems exist.

    Yes kids pet, always have, always will.  It gets them ready for parenthood.
    Part of my growing up included petting and I must say that many a fond
    memory remains with me.

    In any case, that's my frank opinion.  Anyone for petting?

    Sure they exist.  They exist just as hammers and screwdrivers exist.  They
    exist as pints and quarts exist.

    Of course each body in the universe has a different year although there are
    so very many that the odds of another body with the same period as planet
    earth existing are quite good.

    But then again we would need Jeff Beck to determine that.
