I think it's likely that Quayle was selected as a lightning rod, and  
because Bush doesn't have the same concern the rest of us do -- he'll  
never live to see the day that Quayle becomes president...  I guess you  
could also call it a life insurance policy.  Who'd be crazy enough to try  
to take out the president, given the inevitable result?  Personally I'd  
find our VP much more amusing if he weren't standing next in line as  
leader of the free world.

Yes, I can confirm that slick willie played golf at a whites-only club.

Special one-of-a-kind, sure-to-be collectibles include:

Tom Peterson
	Clocks (a couple of big boxes full)
	Shirts (all kinds)
	color books, buttons, golf towels, golf balls, masks, hats.
	A big box of balloons
	Little Purse Mirrors (that say "Open me to see the key to

	Several big "surprise" boxes full of video tape (masters?)

Tom's Barber Chair--ugly orange color
Several cardboard cutouts of Tom
Some Big Banners that could hang outside a store or something.

Probably lots of other cool stuff.

Things like tools, fire extinguishers, chairs, boxes, store displays,
all the little things that are left over when a business goes under.

I was tempted to go into a long discourse about the history of this

about this.  I'll just go ahead and see what time I have to put

Putting this in terms of rights is the best argument.  

The idea of this land is not democracy, but liberty.  The liberty to
make choices RIGHT FOR THE INDIVIDUAL.  Why not allow people to make
their own choice about abortion?

However, as soon as you do, you will have people step forward and say
"You want the right to murder other innocent human beings?"

Allowing war, self defense, and capitol punishement is asking for the
right to murder.

If you want to muddy the waters with innocence, then add mud in the
form of the fetus is not human until the last trimester.

In fact, he often claims that he reads every single email letter that he

Wrong - read it again - the Declaration says that all men are endowed by
their creator with these rights; these rights are not given by other men.
And Thomas Jefferson certainly did mean all mankind with his reference; 
he fought bitterly to keep lines referring to slavery in his Declaration;
they were removed only when the Southern delegates threatened to withdraw
from the Congress if the lines weren't removed. So don't confuse the 
writings of Jefferson or any other founding father with the reality of 
the politics of compromise.

   I find this sort of response typical of those in the pro-choice camp.  They
can't seem to face up to the fact that killing unborn children even up until
the time of birth is murder, so they attempt to make fun of those people
who do stand for life.  I, for one, fail to see any humor in killing the un-
born.  I suppose killing is easy to reconcile when you have no concept what-
soever of a God who thinks life is an important matter.
   I don't think the above comments should be dignified, but I will at least
make the point that a spontaneous abortion and a forced abortion are two
different matters.  People die every day through natural causes.  Does this
mean that it's OK to go downtown with an automatic rifle and remove everyone
in sight?  A spontaneous abortion is a natural death, and a forced abortion
is killing.

Too bad you were sarcastic, otherwise I'd have said you hit the nail
right in the head. The fact of the matter is the only part of the
Russian economic that works well is the black market where ABSOLUTELY
NO tax is or can be imposed by the government. It is the most
efficient in Russia. It is a "TRUELY FREE" market.

Before you jump all over me, I am not saying we should not have taxes.
We need some to run our system. We don't need any more taxex! We need
to be more efficient! Use your common sense; you gotta know what I
mean. This is nothing new.

The argument was 'Abortion is Killing of a human.  Killing of humans

Even if you throw in 'no crimes', what crimes were committed by the 
civilians in a war zone?  And what about people convicted wrongly of
a crime?

Killing is STILL killing.  If you oppose one kind of 'murder', to

Life != human.
