Check this out! Some radical liberal who hasn't the courage to post on SI decided to email me instead. I'm sure he/she will appreciate me posting there email thoughts here. Especially since they were begun from this thread :-) _____________________________________________________________________ Some how I just passed over your Jul 11 posting (to Christine Grace Bartley 23542 on ? what is this crap .. The Coffee Shop? anyway .... I don't even remember what I was looking for when I saw it. >And I don't have the interest to trace your entire philosophy.ÿ But since >you seem to have time on your hands to burn .. hear me outÿ (I have SOME time to burn too.)ÿ And I think you meant: "substituted political cause for God" not the other way around. I am (I hope) the supreme LIBERAL. If you would ever take the time to look it up in the dictionary (or are Conservs [or whatever the opposite of Lib is] anti intellectual?), you would find that it means we want to help people out. Now I actually agree with your line about your Honda scooter. Did you see these "crash jackets" for bike riders? I'll bet it will soon be a law. But it was Bob Dole's wife who got the law passed about the third, "high up" tail light so one of her friends could make a lot of money. It was later proved that the studies supposedly showing they reduce rear-end collisions was fraudulent. Anyway the main point I wanted to make with you: You seem to be a knee-jerk (maybe not a total jerk) reactionary against environmental stuff. You got the "earth replacement" for "god" thing going on in your mind. But as a submarine kind of guy, how can the "earth-as-submarine-in-space" idea have escaped you? Would you shit on the bridge? I haven't checked lately, but do they allow smoking on a sub? If you were going to be "under" for a significant amout of time (Decade?) how many pregnancies would you allow? Do you think an imaginary supernatural being (God) is going to save you? Santa Claus stopped delivering presents when most of us were about 9 years old. If your Santa God is bailing (another naval term) us out, I'd sure like to hear the evidence. (Temperature is rising even as we write... !) There was a time when 95% of all people thought the Earth was flat. There was a time when 95% of all people thought the Earth was the center of the Universe. There was a time when 95% of all people thought that Everything was created by an imaginary supernatural being. Grow up and clean up your room little boy!! or kiss off your progeny. Ru486mart@aol.com ______________________________________________________________________ So I responded with this... Hey Ru486, I guess I really touched something too close to the truth there or something. ;-) Don't private email me, if you want to talk, do it in an open forum on SI. Or haven't you got the courage? Calling someone names is about all liberals know how to do, because the weakness of their arguments is so easily exposed. I see you're no exception, thanks for continuing to prove that point to me. Crushing your sad debating style would be laughably too easy, I don't blame you for your lack of courage. :-) Mike ______________________________________________________________________ Then I received this rocket science email. :-) Typical military puke. Macho challenge. As if anyone would notice. If my "arguments" (didn't really notice any) are so easily refuted, how come you didn't do it? No orders from higher command? Drop for 50 you scum. Ru486mart@aol.com _____________________________________________________________________ It just keeps coming... :-) Omygod ... ! Really? I feel like I've been Ken Starred! You are so powerful when you "Tell the teacher". How much do we pay you naval nitwits? Ru486mart@aol.com ______________________________________________________________________ What else can I say, another deeply intellectual rabid liberal. :-) Michael

MIchael, The State of California should care if a hungry person is forced to say a prayer before receiving the food, and so should you and everybody else. Your requiring them to jump through a hoop first is demeaning to a person who probably already has a low self-esteem for having to ask for the handout. Give them the food and leave them alone. Each individual can pray if they choose to, just as they always could in our schools. Coerced prayer is nothing but a power play to make one person subordinate to another. Del
