Hi Maurice Winn; Re: "Nonsense Carl. That's silly religious cant. All are not equal. Crime in Japan is very low. Crime in South Africa is very high. I am a saint compared with swarms of others." I don't mean it so much in the "religious cant" way, which is to say that we are all, individually, sinners, but instead in the societal way. Japan has its issues, enough said. Also, I got to thinking more about how I feel that the Jews were the beginning of civilization, and what I mean is that the best parts of the Christian and Moslem religions were already there in the Jewish. The essential differences in the religions tend to be stuff that really doesn't matter much, except from the point of view of marketing the stuff to people from other cultures. For example, the idea of circumcision didn't bother a certain friend of mine, but the thought of getting up lobster shocked her deeply. -- Carl
