Prof. Cothran, are you not being a tad too kind and lavish in your praise? However, I thank you all the same. But beware: praise can sometimes produce an unexpected or untoward result.<LOL> Let me illustrate with this anecdote:- A city driver was driving in the countryside enjoying the autumn colours and scenery when he happened to see, just around the corner, a cow gingerly walking on a narrow plank set across a 12-feet divide over a steep break in the ground. He stopped and was so impressed by the cow's beauty and gracefulness that he impulsively tooted his carhorn a couple of times by way of showing his appreciation. Unfortunately, before the cow could acknowledge with a moo or two of her own, she momentarily lost her concentration, lost her balance and fell off the plank................................ ================================ No, if I were allowed to vote, I would give my vote to Kerry, despite all the hullaballoo and fuss about Kerry having lied and dishonoured Vietnam vets in his anti-war testimony in 1971. Then was then, but now is now. Reasonable folks, not the nefarious and the sheep-cum-parrot variety, should overlook the alleged inconsistencies in his testimony, and concentrate on the fundamental issues instead. IMHO, too much of a mountain has been made out of a molehill. His detractors will do well to remember that they themselves are not perfect.
