Now, just a pea-pickin' minute, here, Thomas!  You're guilty of precisely
what you've accused Ruth of doing!  I have sadly waded through the cesspit
of this "amendment 2" dreck all weekend long without reading what you seem to
have been.  All the bigotry, intolerance, and name-calling seem to have been
on one side, and one side only.  Graham was just being a "right mixer", as alway

equate tolerance with persecution?  How on Earth do you get "gay-bashing" out of
   "equal treatment under law"?  Did someone slip an asterisk into the 14th
Amendment, "This section applies to heterosexual Christian caucasoids only"?
Ain't it amazing how one side can have the whole universe's supply of Right &

Cities warm the air above them, which tends to deflect tornadoes.

Trailer parks are usually located at the edges of populated areas.
They don't enjoy the urban heat benefit and may actually see more
tornadoes because distant ones are deflected towards them.

I think everyone--from Ruth to Graham--would agree that if you knew the results
of all your choices, the choices just wouldn't be worth making. Life would be
unbearably boring, and the choices would be unforgivably easy.
     My stupidest decisions have yielded the best consequences. My most
torturously reasoned choices have generally crashed and burned. To quote Frank

Or stopped legally-supported abuse of children who were being force-fed
irrational nonsense.  Just as I hope they'll ban or have banned
Creationism in biology classes.

The parallel would be if a pro-active queer organisation were given
half an hour each day in schools to convert 5-yr olds into active
homosexuals.  Too damn right I'd be first in the queue to ban that too.

I can't condone any goverment attempting to stop christians congregating
if they want to.  Is there something you're not telling us?  Do you mean
perhaps that they won't allow the school buildings to be used for that?
_that_ I could understand.  Separation of Church and State.  Makes it
too easy for them to claim that the State is supporting their church
in order to force people to join by applying peer pressure.  But if they
want to meet after school in their own homes I've no objection at all.

The parallel would be if the school had a gay club and they wanted to
have a mass snog-in in the gym after class.  I can't really see myself
supporting that either.  (Though I might go along for the fun ;-) )

Sigh.  The best overview of dowsing - why the idea is so attractive
and yet always fails under examination - is a chapter of James Randi's
book _Flim Flam_.  Welding rods seem to be the most popular wires, though
some swear by a green forked stick.

Randi rented a farmer's field in Italy, laid out several plastic pipes
and covered them with a layer of soil.  Then he invited various dowsers
to map out the piping as they walked around the field and "sensed the water
flowing through the pipes".  Randi took extensive measures against cheating,
and caught only one trying.  The others seemed to genuinely believe that
they had some power, but of course all failed completely to find the
pipes.

I don't know what Fowler would call it, but I would call it adding an
