You guys having fun?
-- Let's adopt the following two amendments to the U.S. Constitution: "The Congress shall have the power to declare war, and this time we really do mean it." "No person shall be denied life, liberty, or property without due process of law, and this time we really do mean it." "Wolfgang" wrote in message ... "Strider" wrote in message ...

Okay, maybe it should go as a terraine instead of a pate'. My most memorable haggis was one guaranteed to be bad. It was made by a Scot who was a SF fan (and who wrote overblown poetry) and served at an SF convention (think Clave with much stranger clothing and lots of teenagers). I loved it. I'm a very picky eater. I think the list of ingredients is what turns most people off. However, I'll agree with you on tofu. When it was just beginning to be hyped, I bought a 1 pound tray. I did not try several ways of cooking it. One tiny taste of the uncooked, one large bite of the sauteed and it went to the trash. My family got to see it, but I refused to inflict it on them. I went back to the 'frig and got out a new dinner menu. My only disagreement would be on the colour. I thought it looked the way an albino with jaundice would. -- rbc:vixen,Minnow Goddess,Willow Watcher,and all that sort of thing. Often taunted by trout. Only a fool would refuse to believe in luck. Only a damn fool would rely on it. http://www.visi.com/~cyli |

Good advice. Take it.
How did you manage to read "The Art of War" ? You must have gotten a Conservative to read the big words for you. Awe, see, there's your problem. One often ascribes his or her own failings and frailties to others, because others can't possibly be, in your mind, better than you. Try http://www.nifl.gov/ By the way, defending the Constitution is not a done by affiliation to a single party. It is done by folks on both sides. Without liberals and conservatives, there are no checks and balances, we have no middle, we have one party rule. I spent too big a part of my life ensuring that doesn't happen. Learn to live with the concept that people across the spectrum made the Constitution and, through the history of democracy, have added to it to make it what it is today. -- Frank Reid Reverse email to reply |

Proof that it took a man like Churchill to get it right. Churchill was very quotable, but he obviously stole that one. Here are some ORIGINAL Chruchill quotes that are more apropos of current events: There are a lot of lies going around... and half of them are true. In wartime, truth is so precious that she should always be attended by a bodyguard of lies. A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on. However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at the results. Truth is incontrovertible, ignorance can deride it, panic may resent it, malice may destroy it, but there it is. Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing has happened. -- Cut "to the chase" for my email address. |
