having competing spooks with greater and lesser power seems an insane way to run a railroad. carlisle-www.army.mil

> This competition of the Gods business is hotting up, with Lt General Boykin claiming his superspook is tougher than Osama's [which is ahead on points and STILL Boykin can't catch him or Saddam, which suggests Boykin's is a rather puny kind of spook]. Exactly! I found that rather amusing, especially in the light of Boykin's amazing failure to rescue the hostages from Iran. At least the Iranians got to claim their invisible friend commanded the sands and the trailer tires to destroy Boykin's mission. What is Boykin's claim based on? If I were him I'd concentrate on hard military facts and stay out of the supernatural business. > Jews could go about their business without buses blowing up all the time... Seems like a good deal for all, especially since for so many of them being "Jewish" is more a matter of culture and tradition than a mystical belief. I think more and more countries should become more friendly to Jews and invite them over.

re: moving Israel to New Zealand: It also shouldn't be too hard to move all the Jewish holy sites to New Zealand. The Wailing Wall can be dismantled, and re-assembled in New Jerusalem on the South Island. Mount Cook can be renamed New Mt. Sinai. For realism, transplant the old monasteries from Mt. Sinai, maybe a few container-loads of holy rocks, and any burning bushes. With a large enough budget, it should be possible to remove every structure mentioned in the Torah, to New Zealand. Dig the top 20 feet or so (is that enough to extract all the holiness?), of every biblical hill, every mound of rocks and bones and broken pottery and old blood. Ship it all off, and then the Holy Land, the Promised Land, will be in a more conveniant location. It'll be great for the tourist industry.
