News Flash!

At Heathrow Airport today, an individual, later discovered to be a public school math teacher, was arrested trying to board a flight while in possession of a compass, a protractor, and a graphic calculator.

Authorities believe he is a member of the notorious al-Gebra movement. He is being charged with carrying weapons of math instruction.

Thanks for the levity. Only don't give the idiots running the airports security any ideas or for that matter excuses.

[> I enjoyed the joke, SurveyGuy. Thank you.

After the war in Iraq, after the rhetoric, the lies, the spin put forth by the oppostion here and abroad, including the Left and the Right, and after seeing how these people are still nit picking and fighting tooth and nail, this time trying to make Bush, Powell, Blair, et all, out to be evil men (as they tried to do before Iraq was liberated), I can see that people are misdirected and misguiged idiots. Russia, China, France, Germany, and others were involved in "illegal" activities with Iraq yet get a free pass. -- William, 02:52:20 06/16/03 Mon (cache-rl02.proxy.aol.com/152.163.252.226)

[> The Arab countries are involved with anti-Semetic acts and sentiment as well as hatred of the West and not just the United States, and get a free pass. Iraqis were oppressed for decades and their oppressors get a free pass. The US President, Bush, Colin Powel, along with the US itself, and Britain's PM Blair are damned if the do and damned if they don't. The good guys are demonized and the bad guys are applauded and get a free pass, they can do no wrong. The world is sick! -- William, 02:53:23 06/16/03 Mon (cache-rl02.proxy.aol.com/152.163.252.226)

With all this evidence of the warped values and seeing the support for liars, cheats, and murderers such as Saddam and others as well as the French, Russia, China, and others who were making deals with Iraq while opposing the US, and after seeing the disdain people have for the good guys, the US, Bush, Blair, etc., I have had little motivation to post anything.

I still see the same old BS regarding abortion as well.

People ignore the scientific evidence, Human Embryology, which clearly indicates that a human being's life begins at conception, has a perceivable heart beat as three weeks gestation, perceivable brain waves at six waves gestation and all organs by eight week's gestation (38 to 40 weeks gestation is considered the normal, expected duration of a full term pregnancy, while babies have been born as early as 20 to 21 weeks gestation and lived normal lives while 25 weeks gestation is considered "viable").

Nevertheless these abortion supporters still try to devalue the new human in order to justify killing him or her and make it out to be some kind of great and honorable right to kill helpless new human beings still living in his or her mother's womb.

The crap coming out of the mouths of those who hate Bush and who tried to prevent liberating Iraq and the crap coming out of the "abortion is the greatest thing" crowd has been reinforcing in my mind the fact that people are just plain ignorant and nasty.

William

[> [> [> People are getting nastier -- but only some of them. Many who need help actually believe all the racist mumbo-jumbo and insult those who are trying to help them. I have a feeling, though, that the extreme left who are in office may have finally antagonized the rational few on the left enough to send them to vote more conservatively. We'll see. Outrageousness may have worked in the past, but it is a song that is getting old. -- SurveyGuy, 16:54:44 06/16/03 Mon (pcp01422563pcs.lndsd201.pa.comcast.net/68.81.153.209)
