To all of you ARCReader,

Some of you may think that I was too harsh in my condemnation. Whether
it is or isn't is not the issue. The fact is I'm extremely irritated
that this twerp is posting a political article in this net. It has no
bearing at all with what this newsgroup is about. Furthermore it could
divide this Family. And that I don't want most of all. So I beg your
pardon for posting a flame in our beloved ARCLand. However, I will never
apologize for flaming this idiot or for the content of the flame. Never,
never, not ever! Over my dead body!

	But I never saw a miracle
	'Til Baby I found you
	I prayed I'd find my heaven
	Then all my prayers come true
	I was blind but now I see
	The miracle is the love you give to me

	Seen a flower bloom

	But I never seemed to find sweet inspiration
	Seen the stars fall from the sky
	And heard a newborn baby cry
	And felt the warmth of human kindness
	'Til the tears came to my eyes

	I've never been a winner
	And God knows I'm a sinner
	But I found my salvation in you
	Oh, I was lost until you found me
	Put your loving all around me
	Gave me back my faith

==================================================

	Ooooh....  I could have fun with this.  Well, hmmm....  How about I
give you a quick once over of my latest escapade at spoiling a lady rotten?

	I picked her up a work, without prompting or warning.  Of course opened
car door for her.  She's a fan of Cavalier-style clothes;  sitting in passenger
seat was a a terrifyingly-cute teddy-bear in Cavalier garb.  She melted.
	We went for dinner at a local  restaurant....  The head waiter meets us
at the door right away and whisks us past the line to get in.  As we're walking
to our table, the Muzak cuts out and her favourite love song starts playing.
Our table is off in a corner alcove positioned so you can't see any other r
diners; with the exception of the waitress who drops by occasionally, its like
we've got the place to ourselves.  Sitting on her plate is a red rose and a 
slightly naughty card.  And then the Dom Perigion showed up, "by itself".
	After dinner, we went to see _Beauty_and_the_Beast_.

	Of course, I've been since informed this was a tad overkill, but
it was vera fun to organize.  :)

I agree partly here...it IS what it does for you but also, if we are
talking about romantic love or expressions of that rather than other
types of romance, it is equally important what your partner gets out
of it.

I know you were joking Todd, but believe me...we men DO have to be
very very careful. Especially the romantic types...it is too easy to
fall into a fantasy if you are wanting/needing that sort of thing.
Fortunately for me, I found TrueLove (tm) with my sweet Julie.

>We ladies have to be very very careful.... 

I think its obvious by comments I've heard, that some men "use" romance to
"catch" a woman's attention.  You hear comments like "my husband USED to
give me flowers and stuff, but not since we got married."

Likewise, some women "use" things to attract men.  Again, comments like
"my wife USED to dress up and look nice when we went out, but now she's a
slob most of the time."

I think this indicates something sad.  We should not USE things to attract
one another that are not "us."  We should be ourselves and find someone who
loves us for whatever that is.  If a man appreciates romance and its part of
him, then he should act on that.  If a man doesn't appreciate romance, then
he should not force himself to do things that don't have his heart in it.
Likewise, if a woman doesn't usually wear certain kinds of clothing or tons
of makeup, she shouldn't dress up and make up everytime she sees a guy.  He
will think that's the way she is.  We need to present ourselves in a honest
and open way and let someone fall in love with us for who we really are.

Does that make sense...you know how it is on Friday afternoon...:(

You got that right Steve!  Lis, can you say you never acted helpless
to get some guy to do something for you?  Same Thing.  Don't get me
wrong, I like it when my wife 'needs' me (well, most of the time),
even if I know she could do it herself.  And I admit that I don't
always 'know' how the washing machine works!

I think the important thing about romance is what it does for you,
not what someone else is trying to get out of if.

>We men have to be very very careful also...

I disagree here Steve.  It wouldn't be any fun if we were careful!
