assistant: Just to toss a little more Zippo-fluid on the fire, I heard
and/or read somewhere (honest, I really did...just don't remember
where now) that at least one dentist who saw Monica's smile on
the now-famous White House ID photo says she appeared to be
suffering from what was termed "third-stage gum disease."  I have
no idea what third-stage gum disease entails, but it certainly
doesn't sound very good; if it involves open sores, that would be
an almost-certain entryway for infections of all sorts.

Write your reply.

assistant: Somehow, with all the unparalled and extent of felonies, murders,
thefts, death squads, bribes, kick-backs, and all associated with the name of
a formerly honorable state, I just don't like to use the name `Arkansas' in
association with anything honorable or of merit.
        Before Schlik took office, less than 1/3 of American Teens smoked,
nd
McSchliken rakes Gingrich for the noise he made about `Joe Camel',  It is
known that less that a third were using marijuana or illicit drugs.  And all
these in this paragraph were during the Reagan and Bush administrations.
        Mr. Schlik stated over a month ago that, in regard to his anti-drug
program, it would tak until the year 2007 for the levels of teen usage to
return back down to the levels as of the day he took office.
        Each year far more than 17,500 lives are lost duee to people driving
under the influence of drugs and alcohol!  This BY VERY FAR EXCEEDS THE
UMBER
OF DEATHS DUE TO ACCIDENTAL DISSCHARGE OF A PISTOL AND EVEN ALL RIFLES.
(YEPPERS!  I'm yellin!)  We could also include with  the accidental deaths,
assault weapons, machine guns, hand grenades, rocket launchers (which
chlik's
admin lost), and even patrol boat crashes!
        As long as there is a Schkik Willie.  As long as nothing is done
bout
Mena, Arkansas, as long as the head of the Mexican Drug Cartel makes it's
ead
quarters in Tijuana, as long as there are illegal folks to carry the juck,
THERE will be no subsidence of DUI reduction.  If you read between Schlik's
lines, you will see a little bit of truth.  But, he does not know the truth
o
tell, so how can we ever be free indeed?
And that's the way I read it and wrote it for my 25 cents - 6 cents in worth.

assistant: It appears John, that folks forget why the American people was granted
the Right to bear Arms pure and simple.  Now why did our forfathers
allow us to bear arms. To hunt squirrels, and rabbits? Nope that is not
the reason. We were allowed to bear arms in order to keep the
government honest as they would have the people to account to from
their trusty sidearm.  I do believe a lot has changed since way back
when. Now the governmnet has tanks, armed personnel carriers, planes,
bombs, machine guns, and all sorts of chemical weapons.  Lets try and
keep the governmnet honest today if one is stupid enough to try. Ban
assault weapons, why of course. Why not if the gov'ment wishes to
squeeze a little tighter and remove those freedoms we are guaranteed by
the constitution. The idea that we can ONLY have a gun for hunting is
ludicrus and self serving for Slick Willies and organized crime
characters. In my opinion, everyone should own a bazzoka (sp).

I'd dispute that point, Walt. His only involvement in the
initial MidEast settlement was to provide a site for the
signing ceremony. The actual negotiations were held in
secret in Norway, as I recall, with no US representation.
As far as his contribution to the settlement in Ireland,
he came close to aborting the whole process by legitimizing
Sein Fein, and much as I hate to say it, George Mitchell
deserves most of the credit.

Nonsense - conservatives have the initiative and sit on

nor do as a minority.
Only because you deny the evidence before your eyes: that
incrementalism *works* and is in many cases *preferred* by
the public.

And Christy Todd Whitman ran on that? Or did she defeat the
