Try Scrabble first. Then, you can make love (or sex) and get
points for it, too!    (^_^)

Dear dear Crossly,
I was both shocked and saddened to hear of the loss of your timing gear.
It is times likes these when ones friends can come in handy for advise,
steering, guidence, forsooth, forewith, heartofore and pizza.
 
If you want to talk by email someone will be happy to try to talk
you through this most trying time. I really empathize with your
predicament in that I once(well actually more then once, butt thats another
story) had a clutch go to shit in a hand basket.
 
Remember keep your chin up, rubber side down, make haste not waste, a
bird in the hand ain't nearly as good as some bush, always wear a condom,

Could social standards (the norm) have anything to do with this?

Take your dog with you next time.  Then they might only call you
weird.

Society labels women as "affectionate, emotional, sensitive...."
Society labels men a "strong, macho, non-emotional type machines...."

Where are the people who are members to this "society" which set the
standards?  I'd like to meet them.  And "smack them silly".

Do what you feel is right for you.  (As long as it doesn't hurt
anyone else.)  Let anyone who is not comfortable with what you do
deal with it the best way they know how.  

There is always a consequence, whether it be good or bad.  As

Someone e-mailed me an alternative, as being an "admendment veto" so that
any admendments tacked on to an inportant issue can be cleaned off and the
original issue still passed.  What makes me so mad is every time someone
comes up with a bill that will help most or all americans, someone else
realizes that it is a great opportunity to plug something else onto it
and get it passed as well, knowing it would never get passed on it's own.
Something that will not help anyone except him and maybe his district.
That is what I want to avoid.

The reason we "won" the cold war is that their economy collapsed before ours

Yes they can, in theory anyway.  For example, the popular climate
model used to predict "global warming" takes into account only CO2.
When it was modified to take into account (increases in) SO2 as well,
it predicted global -cooling-.  But the politicians have decided
to cut SO2 emissions because, in utter disregard of the conclusions of
the NAPAP, they decided that doing so would help reduce "acid rain."

Not necessarily.  Just because it doesn't hurt doesn't mean it helps.

>What's the objection to reducing CFC's, or Methane,

It costs money.  And every dollar we spend on such things is one less
dollar we can spend on things with proven, as opposed to hypothetical
or speculative, returns, such as education and housing for the
homeless.  (Disclaimer: this isn't what I would spend the savings on.)

Because Mr. Baker, as former President Bush himself put it, would be

   If that be the case, I don't understand why people find the bickering
   so stimulating.  

I think I'm having an extremity pulled here.

   How can intelligent people base the qualifications
   of a candidate on how much dirt his staff can dig up about the other,
   and how well he can lie about how his opponent is lying about the
   dirt he's being accussed of?  Personally, the more a candidate 
   addresses the bull, the less qualified I find him/her to be.
   Let's stick to the issues.  Just the facts.  (I'm sure YOU agree)

I'm pretty *sure* I'm having an extremity pulled here.

   ps
   Coming to the boink?  

Not unless I rear back, pass a miracle, and have a dissertation draft
done by then.

   Before Allisson and I went to sleep the other

While I tend to agree with you in this particular case, it's worth noting
that there are a lot of people out there who will not take you seriously
unless you do get angry with them--indeed, people whose respect is most
easilly won by getting angry at them.  (As a general rule, I try not to
deal with these people more often that necessary.)
