JESUS WAS A VEGETARIAN!!!!  Therefore, for religious reasons, all
*true* Christians must renounce meat and all animal products.
They're claiming that the Bible was altered in the fourth century
to include the fishes in the "fishes and loaves" tale and that
Jesus Christ never once touched meat in his life.

in
I was watching "World's Scariest Police Videos" on Fox tonight and
Sheriff Brunnel (ret.) stated that there are more people killed by drunk
drivers in a year than all other forms of homicide combined.
Yet, DUI (or the equivalent), is considered a "minor" crime or offense
not worthy of any serious incarceration. In a DUI case, if there is no
injuries or serious property damage, it's "no harm, no foul". Yeah,
right.
When a person is killed as a result of a DUI "accident", there is no
moral outrage, no call to arms to control motor vehicles, no threat of
lawsuits against the automobile manufacturers, or any of the other
hysteria associcated with a "gun" crime.
It appears that people have more rights concerning their vehicles and
driver's licenses which are NOT Constitutionally protected than one's
right to keep and bear arms which IS a Constitutionally protected
activity. Or so say the LIbEralS.
Abject hypocrisy is what it is. Could it be that there are many LIbEralS
who get popped for DUI (Dee Dee, are you reading this?), and as such,
they don't want THEIR behavior (read that to be "fun") curtailed?
ie. Do as I say and not as I do.

The problem is that it would require the FBI to investigate itself. The
phrase "conflict of interest" comes to mind.
Consequently, that is why the Department of Justice, as does EVERY
Cabinet level Department and other agencies, have an Office of the
Inspector General. THAT agency is required to investigate allegations of
misconduct by employees of the DOJ and it's agencies.
I ought to know, I used to work for OIG Agriculture. Employee misconduct
cases comprised a percentage of my work. The rest was program fraud such
as Food Stamp Fraud, Farmer's Home Administration Loan Fraud, etc.
However, as you stated above, since the DOJ OIG works indirectly for
Janet Reno, then there is still a potential for conflict of interest.
Ergo, it should be investigated by Starr.

Yes it is disgusting. The abject hypocrisy of the LIbEralS who support

watched Susan Estridge <sp?> excuse Perjury by legitimizing it claiming
that the underlying legal matter in which Clinton perjured himself was
"only a civil matter involving adultery" (ie. Monica Lewinski) or sexual
misconduct, it's understandable since everyone would lie in similar
circumstances. Typical LIbEral clap trap justifying illegal and immoral
behavior claiming there is no true right and wrong, just shades of Gray.
EXCEPT of course when it's a Conservative, a Republican, or Timmothy
McVeigh and Terry Nichols. Or Branch Davidians, or anyone to the right

Consequently, the system is set up to encourage frivilous filings and
frivilous appeals for the sole purpose of allowing a person to remain in
this country under the color of law with permission to be employed
because they filed a fraudulent claim of asylum.
It's based on economics actually. Jobs. And now, social services (read
welfare). ie. $$$.
Take the construction trades. In the 80s, wages were averaging
$15.00/hr. Now, due to a massive influx of illegal aliens in the
construction trades, average wages are around $9.00/hr.
IOW, illegal immigration has resulted in wage depression in certain
professions. One can argue that this is healthy for the economy since it
makes construction contractors more competitive and lowers the prices of
houses and makes them more affordable.
However, consider this. Who would you rather build your house, a person
who is sufficiently educated and can measure, add and subtract, is
literate and can read a blueprint? Or one who is illiterate, can't
perform simple arithmetic functions, can't read, or measure?

insure that my house is built properly.
IOW, you get what you pay for.

was--the blonde one anyway) certainly doesn't care for him. He was

Monica thing. He said it was terrible and that the president should
set a higher moral standard, not a much lower one. During the show
he kept saying the "alleged" act, but with a glare over at one of
the Clinton defending liberals. Finally toward the end, he said,
"...alleged...(but I STILL think he did it.)"
Come to think of it, he was the only one on the panel that was a
