    My sentiment exactly, Ordinarily I would refuse to sit in traffic and get all bunched up with lake people and their little cracker spawn for some shitty fireworks show.

    Now, if they would have said, "This year, we shoot the whole god dammed thing at once, just to see what it looks like". I would have driven to San Diego.

    and I would like to add to / clarify your response: This is exactly why it is this way.

    I ( and others ) propose:

    1) Eliminate payroll withholding ( make people write a check for their tax liability every year )
    2) Make said taxes due in November, in time for elections.

    In 1989 I had a 'emergency problem" requiring a relatively simple, routine procedure to extract a foreign body.

    It set me back 20 bucks, total, cash, no insurance... in other words a 20 dollar bill transitioned from my wallet to the doctors till. Granted, the $20 in 1989 went further than it does today but it was no financial disaster, a loss of beer money :(.

    I bet the same procedure today would set one back hundreds of dollars. This is why there is a need for one to have health insurance lest little accidents cause financial hardship.

    Why, what is so different today?

    I,as well, seem to recall a reference to a "wireless taser" that uses laser ionized atmosphere to direct a charge. I want to think that it was circa 1990s-sometime.

    Now it appears to be a confirmed concept. I wonder what is waiting in the wings?

    Sir, I must call poppycock on your assertion that racism is rife in the Southland.

    Speaking to segregation in the south.

    I have lived in TX, LA, my neighbor were white, black, and all shades in between. As a matter of fact I would submit that the best race relations in the country are to be found in the South.

    You Yankees need to check yoselves.

    you know as well as I.

    My goal in this discussion is to point out the silly things evolutionists( or the christian haters ) believe.

    If you believe that creator of the universe is pile of spaghetti- then frankly... yea.

    My parting shot: Winnie the Pooh is not speculative science fiction.

    So... how is life in Botswana? What? you mean to tell me that you live in a land whose culture descended from a Protestant ethic?

    I have to admit that this is what I expected. For all the hate for the Christian faith that persons such as yourself espouse it certainly odd that youse guys never seem to want to leave.

    As a matter of fact I bet I could not PAY you to live anywhere that did not spring from a Christian, Protestant tradition.

    Enjoy your air conditioning!

    I want to take exception to your assertion the "Science is not a threat to Christianity..."

    I do agree, in principle that this is true. Knowledge of the universe is a good thing, humanity should,by all means, forge ahead.

    However, in practice it is a threat. I only need to refer to the numerous posts in this thread to confirm that.

    Interesting, your mother thinks I'm special as well.

    If you want to spar with me then post with your account, not as an AC. The option to hide as an anonymous user is an option I have as well. However, I stand by my arguments, unlike a puss such as yourself.
