I don't know, was the axe metaphorical?

I was refering to the interesting complex of reactions that tends to
occur in persons not utterly devoid of imagination when someone who
(rationally, by surface appearances, etc) have a prayer of inflicting
serious harm attempts to do so.  People start wondering about
poisoned fingernails, 9th dan black belts in obscure martial arts
specializing in causing compound fractures, and so forth.  Tends
to fluster people badly.

So they take threats seriously, whereas someone who looks like Bluto
ought not to need to make the threat in the first place, so they must
be joking.

    My answer might not fit the criteria. But I don't care.

     The most traumatic event of those years to me was Ford
pardoning Nixon.
     It was a stupid thing to do. I think it pissed the American
People off and prevented Ford from being re-elected. So although
he won the nomination over Ronald Reagan lost to a Democrat(knee-
jerk reaction by the American People. He was incompetant thus last
times runner-up was elected(Ron).
    The taumatic part to me looking back on it was that I think
neither Carter or Reagan would have ever been elected President.
If Ford had never pardoned Nixon.

Dear Mr. Rohwer:

You must have taken a specific stance on the issue to have brought
upon Lubosh and others the burden of proof by scientific evidence. 
Why must science be the law that determines the existence of God? 
Surely these are two different studies, where one is based on fact
and the other is based on faith.

Science, however, is not totally factual.  Science nurtures upon
theoretical discoveries that are accepted as truths only through
repeated experimentation and observation.  No one has actually seen
the intricate bonding of two hydrogen atoms and an oxygen atom to
form a water molecule, but we see the results and accept the theory
as fact, and no one questions why hydrogen doesn't always bond with
oxygen to form water.  Nor has anyone seen or recorded the
beginning of the universe, yet science speculates on its origins.

While the birthing of children can be explained by modern science
and medicine, the beauty and the wonder of the event in itself is
a miracle.  And if people wish to attribute the existence of such
beauty in life to God, then so let it be, for there is none more
deserving.

Sincerely,
Henry Sakata

Dave,
I think the problem here might be in the definition used.  Home does not mean

   Suppose we have the following situation. In 1990, employee A who is
   female, is not given promotion, which is instead given to employee B,
   a male who was much less qualified than A. Despite this clear-case of
   sex discrimination, A stays with the company. In 1992, the same
   position becomes available again. However, this time, employee C, a
   male who is much more qualified than A is also in the running for the
   promotion. Should A be granted preferential treatment and be given the
   promotion over C (who is better qualified) because of the
   discrimination against her in the past?

No.  She should, however, sue the buns off the company.  And kick the
balckguard in the crotch.

It wasn't the fact that you were "dressed-up" so much as the fact that
you made an effort to dress up, and the clothes looked reasonably good
on you.  If you'd dressed up as a Viking warrior, say, she probably
would have been equally impressed.

Orangutans are the third largest primate after gorillas and humans.  In 
fact, adult males weigh about as much as human males, but the females are
much smaller.  (The orangs that you see in movies and non-documentary TV shows
are juveniles.)  Because of their size they move very slowly and deliberately
through the trees.  Also, except for mothers with youngsters, they're solitary
for the most part, and about the only time adults of the opposite sex encounter
one another is when the female is in estrus.  For these reasons and because
they have prehensile feet for gripping tree branches, orangutan couples tend
to take their time.

Also, the females have orgasms.

I'm probably wrong, but I don't see them as "damn near identical". After
readin' a.r and ARC (along with soc.singles and soc.couples), I view a.r
as a more "mechanical" side of romance, where ARC has the banter. a.r IMHO
has more to do with (ie) what color of the rose denotes what emotion, 
engagement present ideas, lists of romantic songs, romantic first date
ideas, etc., where ARC contains the banter (running threads).
	I don't view a.r as a "syrupy sweet" group. It mostly contains
references for romantic ideas, such as the ones I listed above.
	ARC _is_ "syrupy sweet", and can be very annoyin'. But, so can
a month-long thread on "seesters".   :)
