Ted,

what I can't understand is why they are so freaked out. There have been major demonstrations in every major city this past week. If they had just turned out to vote two weeks ago, they might have avoided this mess.

That assumes that the candidate that came in 3rd (Jospin?) would have ended up 2nd. Their turnout was very high, at least based on use standards - in 70s I think. The problem is that the voters voted for so many off the wall candidates, that the 2 mainstream party candidates got only 19 + 16 = 25% combined.

I think every leftie knows they are voting for a conservative.......they figure its the lesser of two evils.

Those are not the ones I am talking about. I am talking about conservatives, who normally would have voted for Chirac, but now that Chirac looks like a hero of the Left, they may have second thought about him.

I want Le Pen to win!!! LOL

I wouldn't go that far, but it sure would be fun to watch.

I know you are not Catholic

How do you know that? <g>

But what I don't understand is how a priest who is supposed to believe there is a heaven and a hell...

...Do you Joe or someone else understand how he was able to deal with this in his head?


Human weakness? The are human after-all. Have you never done something wrong fully knowing what you are doing is wrong?

Also, the concept of celibacy is a bit harsh on a healthy male.

How the Catholic church got started on this is not entirely clear to me. I guess they wanted total dedication... Or does it have it something to do with Jesus Christ? The idea never crossed my mind until now, but as far as I know, he was never married, and I don't know what to think of stories / rumors about his involvement with Maria Magdalene.
