    Oh this is just wonderful, what was that  x-files episode,  sounds just
like  this  story.   Digging  in  the  ice, found  some alien  viruses that
infected people.  Turned everyone into semi  madman, or  was that  skeptics

Happy Trails,

assistant: Nope.
This ain't a pissin' contest, son. But it were I'd STILL win.
Fact's are facts. Hearsay IS admissible...but it IS hearsay...and
eyewitness accounts ARE hearsay. PERIOD! Hearsay MUST be accompanied by
factual and substantive EVIDENCE to be held as fact.
Not at all.
 Who said it was, dillweed?
 I just said something and you have to get a bitch act goin'. I was
talking about proofs and LOGIC. I made an aside about law...woo woo.
Thing is, you are wrong, wrong, wrong, and then (hmmm, let's
see) WRONG!
 Who cares? Your ignorance is astounding.
YOU are the one that had to take a slight aside as a personal affront!
All I said was that eyewitness testimony was but hearsay. BIG FRIGGIN'
DEAL! I'm not disallowing what people believe, even if I don't believe
it!
YOU made the "legal issue" not I. YOU extended it, because you are
stubborn and ignorant of the law AND logic.
The case is closed that you are an idiot.
Look in a thing with pieces of paper in it...they are called books,
often.
I know the facts, ma'am, and YOU are in error. You're an idiot. Devoid of
knowledge AND humor.
