Oh, I saw that guy! What is the deal with him?! The only thing I can
figure is that he is an American Baptist. They are mostly found up
in the Great Liberal North, they are for gun control, and it appears
they are for socialism. It angers me because un-informed people might
see him and think ALL Baptists think like that. AAMOF, the American
Baptist membership is tiny compared to the rest. I've attended many
Baptist churches...Southern, Freewill, etc. and they are the exact
opposite. The only ones Mom wouldn't take us to were Northern, (too
"Yankee") and particularly, American. She said they were too "weird"
and it looks like Mom was right *again*. It reminds me of the
Catholic vs. Episcopalians, and the way the Episcopalians are
*almost* Catholic--except for a few "minor" adjustments like allowing
gay priests, etc. The American Baptists could be the "Episcopalians"
of the Baptist church. <sigh>
That is *really* sad!
Oooh, I would not want to be in that guy's shoes come Judgement Day!

assistant: On 02-17-98, DAVID HARTUNG declared to ROBERT PLETT:
The Separation of School and State Alliance held its third major
conference this last November, in Arlington, Virginia.  Their basic
premise is that in order for real education reform to take place, the
state must be removed from education altogether.  You can read about it
and how they conclude poor students would benefit most at:
  http://www.basenet.net/~eagle/educate/1998/jan98/conference.htm
Still would be - parents would see to it, just as they did originally in
this country.  Whatever they come up with would be far better than the
public school system we now have - just recently, a city in Michigan
(think it was Michigan, coulda been Wisconsin) gave a new dumbed-down
standardized test to every student in the city, and NO ONE PASSED!
Teaching at a college part-time places me in the position of working
with the products of our public education system on a regular basis,
where direct interaction and observation shows them continuing to get
worse.  The situation is well beyond pathetic.
Just saw a news report showing the latest math and science score
comparisons internationally - the US now ranks 18th of 21 nations.

assistant: You're ducking the question.  The question was why, when articles
are clearly attributed to public news sources, you insist on
claiming they were originated by Rush Limbaugh.
Of course you've done nothing but ignore questions since your
first post here.  I guess it gets in the way of vomiting forth
insults and unsubstantiated accusations.  Didn't anyone ever tell
you that an accusation is *not* it's own proof?  If you have any
proof of your contentions, let's see it.
I realize you have no such proof because it does not exist.  You
are so blinded by hatred of anything conservative that you are
oblivious to how much of a fool you're making of yourself.
What's the matter bunky, didn't mommy and daddy love you enough
to teach you common courtesy?  The parents of all the little boys
and girls whose parents love them taught them manners.  What
happened to you?
I don't expect you to answer any of these questions of course.
You will simply quote my post two or three times and add two
lines of specious insults.  That way you'll be true-to-form.

assistant: This could backfire.  I can think of several instances when
a congressional majority would love to let "inconvenient"
laws expire.  No need to pass new legislation gutting a
valuable law that the majority-party doesn't like -- just do
nothing (except stay in power, that is) and wait for it to
wink out of existence!
I like it, but Congress could never handle the load since that
would require actually reading all those laws.  Heaven knows,
both houses can be infuriatingly slow now; just imagine the
glacial pace if lawmakers had to actually read and understand
what they're voting on!
Yes!!
already, I can hear the cries of "Unfair!" from high school
(in some cases, even college) graduates who find that they
still can't read the laws because they never actually
learned to read at high-school level.  (_I_ read at a
high-school level while still in elementary school -- but
that was back when teachers and parents still cared if
kids leaerned anything.  Besides, I have always enjoyed
reading, unlike today's wait-for-the-home-video generation.)
