I should have forewarned you that it is quite impossible to defeat Carl Bilow in any battle wherein Numerology and Math-o-Magic rule the field. Bilow is a digital engineer who sees things in one/zero black and white terms. Here is a transcript forwarded by a friend of his experience being questioned for jury duty here in Silicon Valley : Prosecution attorney: [an attractive woman who would have looked far more attractive naked...] Mr. M, you've said that you are an engineer. Mr. M, wouldn't you agree that engineers like to think in terms of ones and zeroes, yes and no, right and wrong? M: Well counselor, I'm an ANALOG engineer. <Courtroom bursts out in laughter> Prosecution attorney: Obviously some people 'got that' but I didn't. Mr. M would you please explain... M: Counselor, an analog engineer understands that there are an infinite number of values between zero and one in the world. I object to your characterization of the entire class of electrical engineers as absolutists, unable to discern any values between zero and one. An hour later, during the preemptory challenges.... Prosecution attorney: The people would like to thank Juror number 44, Mr. M, for his service to the court, as well as his illuminating definition of an analog engineer. Judge: Mr. M, you have served your Santa Clara County juror obligation for the next two years. You are now dismissed. M: [hard to contain a smile] Than you, your honor.

<This is a war to eliminate the last bastion of male chauvinism and to Emancipate all women from the yoke of Islamic slavery.> First it was about WMD. Then it was about democracy. Now, it's about feminism???? Every feminist organization in the U.S., is on record as stating that this current Administration is the least friendly to feminism, in a generation. Contest that statement, and I'll post their positions, in detail, with links. Don't you realize how ridiculous this sounds: "President Bush is a Humanitarian Feminist Imperialist".
