You are, of course, welcome to your suspicions. I haven't particularly
concerned myself one way or another with how people react to my opinions
or explanations, with perhaps some exceptions.

I do however suspect that a lot of Christians would also believe that
no one knows what Hitler's final eternal destiny is, and that the in-
junction to refrain from judging others would apply, even in his case,
and, I am sure, in the case of many holders of apparently even more
vile beliefs than his.

Hi Dan,

Great to see you writing!   ....and hey, I thought the two of you looked

You are, of course, right on with your comments .....but how do you
get teenagers, swamped with all this "look great" stuff (TV, magazines,
etc)... to understand that there are far greater values to look for in
a relationship than a "great bod"?  Maybe that explains why some of their
marriages are so short ..... after the thrill of sex dies out, what do
they have left (if fantastic appearance was the primary attraction)?
Take it easy cyclops! (but read my stuff :-))

Funny thing. Before WWII there was some doubt about whether the

the war, apparently, there wasn't an empty pew to be found. That's
deep.

I've been told (but am very sceptical) that abuse of sacred names is a
peculiarly Christian trait.  Maybe there's a Joseph Campbell doctor in
the resonant interval.

>As I recall, there is evan a professed Christian on this list who thinks that

I've heard of Jewish concern with not mentioning the name of God, but
in spite of having made connections with virtually every brand of
Christianity around, that is not a preoccupation I have run into.

> So, your particular Christian sect forbids oaths?
I think it has something  to do with one of the Ten Commandments
(oops, pardon the disingenuousness, but its compulsive; must be
 something in the 'air').

No crusade here. Just poking a few McLuhanesque probes into the
electrosphere to see what comes whizzing back. Some time back
I commented on Katherine Hepburn's physical manifestation of her self-
confessed over bearing ego, and got the comment about WORDS-L reach-
ing a new low of bad taste. Made me wonder, when I saw the profanity,
how much lower it might want to take itself. (Not that I don't find
such usage quite unacceptable.) What we got basically is
the usual cultural gear slippage. I suppose if I had just refered to
the profanity as bad taste, we would all have gone along our own
little merry data routes.

Well, I used to know a girl in Boston who is a bit of a tomboy, and
is thoroughly revolted by 'girlie' things like dresses and makeup and
perfume and *PINK*.   And she's one of those people who everyone
loves to tease - in fact she even had her own mailing list at mit
once (joy-abuse) for people to swap stories of how they pulled her
leg...  Anyway, a year or two back I bought this *PINK* Barbie Doll
(she prefers Lego btw) with the intention of scanning the pack in
with a colour scanner, and doing some photo-shop style work on it
to turn it from a Barbie Doll to a Joy Doll.  Unfortunately the
high-res colour scanner never turned up at work, but if it ever
does, the doll is still there...

>1951  Mohammed Mossadegh

        Leader of Iran, deposed by a CIA-led coup, replaced by Shah Reza
        Pahlavi.  Mossadegh was a small-d democrat, but eventually
        insufficiently anti-Communist for John Foster Dulles and his brother
        Allen.

A fruit, usually found dried in the USA, grown on a date palm tree.  
They're occasionally fermented and made into a rather potent potable, which
I've never had but would love to try some day.

Ohhh - the other kind of date.  It's been so long, I've forgotten what it
really is.

No, I didn't.  I screwed it up in some way that I can't remember now.
Frank unscrewed it for me.  I think maybe I got it almost working by
myself.  It works fine now, but I think that was because of something
Frank did.  Bernard must have been busy at the time.
