according to product specs (i can't remember the brand, and am too lazy to research it), every THX capable home unit was capable of 7.2 point surround sound (as opposed to 5.1). i got the information from crutchfield, so be sure and remember your salt. --

I'm not sure I understand what you mean about pursuing a small community in the Army. My "plan" (plans change) is to do a stint in the infantry, step out and go to a seminary, and return as a Chaplain. I do intend to bear fruit, and the Army is certainly a harvest ground.
I've still got to discuss some of this with my PMS, though, to find out if I have to avoid my advanced course in order to change branches like that. But if I have to, I don't have a problem with that. I've still got another year before I assess. --

well, when you clearly state that "I just turned down a GS position, because the pay was 2/3 a private sector offer", its pretty hard to guess something other than that the reason you turned down the job was because of the pay.
i also never said or even implied anything about a vow of poverty. i'm sure the GS job would have kept you quite well out of the line of poverty, especially including your reservist pay.
though i will admit, i had no idea you'd spent 10 years military service, and i apologize for assuming that you hadn't done any GS work, since you turned down one GS job. it seems to have made more of an ass out of me, than you.
but on another note, you seem rather aware that GS positions don't always grab the best and the brightest, though they do get some very bright people. i just feel, personally, that GS needs some of those best and brightest in order to have an intelligent GS sector to make good decisions. that's a large reason why i myself am going to give up a good decade or more of my time to the army once i graduate.
but thanks for replying to my post and clarifying things, as well as putting me in my place. i probably needed it more than i can see --

funny how you have a bible verse in your sig, but you claim that money was your biggest motivator for turning down a job with greater potential for public good and service --

for the most part, we don't hear about anything in canada, much less quebec, unless the US is involved. you have to remember, american's are pretty self centered, so we don't notice outside stuff easily unless we're involved.
and yes, there are problems with the police in our society. its actually a problem with our society, though, not our police. and since the police come from society, it carries over to them. however, though there are cops who tend to ignore human rights, the vast majority do care about what they're doing, and try to be good citizens about it as well.
you pretty much have to accept that there are both good and bad things about our police, as well as the society they come from, in order to make an intelligent argument, and eventually a change --

aside from the coriolis effect altering water draining being a myth (the sink/toilet is way to small for the effects to be seen), it can be done mechanically. i live in corvallis, oregon, usa (about 44 degrees north latitude), and i've seen tons of toilets that flush simple straight down. its usually because they're high pressure, though. --

aol still doesn't seem to be blocking TiK, though. a frienf of mine (a windows 2000 user) does have problems with his client, but i can't even remember what its called. i'd imagine you gaim users aren't having any problems, either. --
