The answer was John Grey Gorton.... former Prime Minister of Australia who
succeeded Harold Holt when he drowned off Portsea. I mentioned him shortly
after I came out of my lurkers-cupboard.

I'm still waiting to hear from either Ausbrook, Emily or Betty, but if John,
Susan, Brad, Gilbert, Agnes or //anne//supply me with their categories, I
will let them jump the queue.

The tradition in my family as a child, enforced by an extremely superstitious
mother, was for the tree to be put up on Christmas Eve and taken down New
Years Day. I have always suspected that this had more to do with housekeeping
than with any superstition though..... a cut, live tree doesn't last more than
a week in our Christmas temperatures before it starts making a terrible mess
of the lounge-room. We've been using artificial trees for the last 10 years,
except for the year we bought a small Norfolk Pine growing in a tub and
transplanted it into the garden after Christmas was over. The first task on
New Years Day is still to undecorate the tree and store it away though.

Since I haven't heard from Ausbrook, I will move play on..... I have put his

is now Nancy's turn to pick a category.

If the remaining players would also like to notify me of their first choice of

  >Fair enough. I never had a problem with such a position. So why did we
  >single out mockery?

  I'm afraid I quite misinterpreted your reply to my earlier remarks:

   This certainly clarifies what you have in mind when you speak of respecting
   deep beliefs. You have no objection to people declaring other people's
   deeply held beliefs false, revolting, and beneath contempt. What you do
   object to is "mockery" of those deeply held beliefs, where mockery, I
   suppose, typically involves desecration, unseemly levity, sacrilege, parody,
   as typified perhaps by Mel Brooks's treatment of Christian and Nazi beliefs.

These remarks you found unobjectionable. Apparently what you meant was that
it is ok to declare other people's deeply held beliefs false, revolting, and
beneath contempt, provided this is done in a gentle, sharing, understanding
way that does not offend.

  With this point clarified at last, I don't see that your remarks
have much to do with your indignation at the use of "Jesus" as an
expletive. Certainly we must be careful in various ways when we want
to talk to people about their beliefs. But suppose we have considered
the deeply held beliefs of certain people and found them to be total
garbage. Why should we not bluntly say so, and why should we take care not
to offend these people's sensibilities? To these questions your comments
about "mocking humanness" etc are relevant, but not your remarks about how
to have serious discussions with people.

  >I seriously doubt that fanatics are moved by deeply held beliefs.

  Let's see, now,...wasn't it characteristic of deep beliefs,
according to your earlier explanation, that people are prepared to die
for them? Are you suggesting that the SS people were not fanatics, or
that they did not have deeply held beliefs? Are you suggesting that
Muslims on suicide missions are not fanatics, or that they are not moved
by deeply held beliefs?

  >Or, could it be that you are saying you sometimes disrespect beliefs for
  >which you have great respect? If the latter, I should be quite grateful
  >for an example.

  As you noted yourself, we have rather different ideas about
these matters. The idea that mere depth of belief is something
to be admired or respected, or that fanatical commitment to whatever
cause or belief is a fine thing is one that I find profoundly silly as
well as pretty revolting. However, I must confess that I have no clear
idea at the moment how to convey this to you in a caring, sharing,
non-offensive way.

Hi y'all
        This Monthly Hello thing is going to become a tradition for me,
I think.  Nothing much new is up in my life..my car's exhaust system
became plugged with rust (unbeknownst to me), and decided to stall and
die on the Interstate after I got out of jury duty (we convicted her
guilty) and was on my way to the mall to do some xmas shopping.  $237
later I had a fixed car and less of a budget for shopping.  Perhaps I
should have titled this WHTMWSJD (What Happened to me while Serving Jury
Duty)...  My holiday was OK..thanks to those wordslers who sent cards and
missives (Gail, that's the longest xmas letter I've ever seen, let alone
read!)

Well, it looks like the laserjet is almost done puking out my Framemaker
doc.  Hope things are well and bah for now.

There is a restaurant in town called Gyro Wrap (pronounced Your-Oh).

The "wrap" itself is pita bread.  Mmmmm.

Just before I left this list to lead a healthy life for a week, I was
witness to a phenomenon so incredibly distasteful that its aftertaste
still lingers. Believe it or not, but I got an email from some losers
styling themselves "emergency listserv". I will not mention names ...
but ... You Geeks! You write boring letters to the list for the major
parts of your lives, and then for a hobby you write about the same
darned topics to the same darned people in private mail! Just what is
it that motivates you to start emergency listservs on top of all this?

Next time there is a hiatus in the listserv for a microsecond take the
opportunity to experience the rest of the world in its numerous and
diverse aspects. There is a whole universe out there. You could watch
TV. Or maybe even play a video game or something! Get out of this list-
serv frenzy for a while and you'll get to know what life is.
