Yeah, it's very generational.  My favorite theory is that it had something
to do with the time period when they were young adults - the independence
movement and all that.  That must have been the dominant force in their
life at that time, even if they weren't active participants.
And you're right, anti-orthodoxy describes the attitude better than atheism.

Yeah, same here.  The last thing our oceans need is another helping

ear, she will say, "well, is it in your lungs?" And you, not yet being
infected in your lungs will say, "no," whereupon she will administer a
cocktail of the three most prevalent viruses from last year's epidemic by
injection into your left arm. By the time you get home three hours later,
you will feel like hell and want nothing so badly as sleep. 10 hours later
you will arise and decide that something is definitely wrong. You will
muddle throught the next few days dosing yourself with over-the-counter
remedies until finally you almost lose your voice, so you will go to the
doctor, who takes one look at your throat and pronounces "acute
pharyngitis," and administers you yet another injection, except that this
one is penicillin, and hands you a neat little prescription along with his
bill and the admonition not to get flu shots when you are already sick with
something else.

Some questions about names:

>Zsuzsanna Budapest

Is this a real name? Especially "Zsuzsanna" - is there a language where
the name is really spelt that way?

>Shekhinah Mountainwater

I have been seeing names on this pattern lately, but sorry to say I have
no clue about them at all. Is it a native American name anglicised? The
surname, that is. The first name sounds vaguely Muslim (i.e. probably middle
eastern), but honestly I have never heard it in India at least. Hmm, unless
it is a variant of Sakeenah.

That's what I thought from looking at the directory entry....but since
I'm not a unixgeek, I wasn't positive....and didn't wanna suggest
"something stupid" on this list....after all, no one EVER says anything
stupid on here.....including what I just said....   8-)
