Still, are you stepping forward with stones? No My point was that two gay men living in a condo aren't doing you or anyone else any harm. I agree. I don't want to make it illegal for gay people to live together or have sex with each other. My Point was not about this situation. I was responding to the particular part of your post I quoted (Didn't someone say, "Judge not lest ye be judged?"). My post was dealing specifically with that. I don't know where gay people living together came in to the conversation, I can't see anything about it in the thread until your reply. Tim

Remember when some of us discussed time a while back? Well, this is really interesting. It is long, but if you get a chance to read it let me know what you think. members.aol.com Also, as relates to your discussion with Twofowler about corn: "Corn has one of the most brilliant and convoluted of 'lazy' strategies. This plant is often lunched on by caterpillars. When the caterpillar's saliva comes into contact with chewed-up corn leaf, chemicals known as terpenoid volatiles are released. These attract the caterpillar's predator, a wasp, which proceeds to lay eggs in the caterpillar. When the eggs hatch, the wasp larvae will devour the caterpillar from the inside out. In effect, what happens here is that corn recruits murderous 'bodyguards' to its cause. As a plant, it cannot move or resist the caterpillar; but it overcomes these limitations by engaging in a symbiotic relationship with the wasp." The whole article is long, fascinating, and fun to read. nua-tech.com
