For those curious, the Kaddish is an ancient Hebrew prayer, a
high praise to God, that is recited in honor of a loved one's
passing. To turn one's heart back to remembering God -- the
Giver of Peace -- in a time of great sorrow, offers comfort
to the survivors & reminds them of His Sovereignty.

Write your reply.

assistant: Dr. Kennedy  announced Saturday last that more babies (in various
states of development) have been aborted or killed than all Citizens of the
United States of America killed in all wars and police actions since the
founding of our country.
        In addition, I learned that, with regard to the media in the USA, you
can see the pictures of the dead pertaining to wars, holocaust, disasters,
murders and other tragedies.  BUT, the media will not broadcast any pictures
of aborted babies in any stage of development what ever.  The media will
ocus
on a few siamese babies, multiple birth tragedies, babies of drug addicted
mothers at the time of birth, etc.
        In the process of record checking of pregnant women who had seen a
video of an aborted baby, and/or the sonograph pictures  in process of
showing the life of the baby in the womb, it was found that 90% pf the
pregnant ladies scheduled for an abortion changed their minds and convictions
and chose life for their unborn child.
        Here again I ask the econo question, "Just where does abortion money
go and where did it come from?"
        Those seeking to verify this could probably contact him in Florida.

Wrong.
Friendly? Rubbish. That I have not given full liberty to my feelings is out
of respect for keeping my access here and not losing it  via use of excess
profanity. And who helped YOU spell honor?
Immaterial. Your announcement IN THIS MEDIA, not just in FORLE, I see as a
great hazard to this media, and I will resist it as I legally may. It will
annoy me greatly to see BBSs shut down just because of your announcement.
en.
I see. You consider endangering the entire FIDO system to be a recreation,
a game. How irresponsible.
The only benefit observable from this viewpoint from your sayings is the
ability to marvel at the vast waste of bandwidth your wordy, opprotunistic,
seperationist, socialist rants cause.
I'll be candid. Were FORLE in my power, the moment you raised your elective
hopes, the only thing that would have delayed your access being cut off would
have been the act of typing in the commands to do so.
As for altering friendships, there are none here to alter. I am confident
hat
your perspectives could easily be defined in a few books... Lenin's, Marx's,
Engel's...
In short, if you STILL haven't figured it out... I see your announcement as
n
attempt to bring FIDO under the same 'equal access' aegis as radio,
elevision
and print as regards elections. Since FIDO is a number of systems, any
regulation will be initially difficult, but eventually smothering the BBSs in
question. I for one do NOT purpose to see that happen if I can help it.
Frankly the only salvation I can see is your removal.

That's a hell of a choice,  really.  I don't like having to be put in that

Last time around I was all set to hold my nose and vote for The Dolester,
until I saw how he was into screwing people with regard to their second
amendment rights.  So I voted for Browne.
Sooner or later enough people are going to make choices like that that it's
going to make a difference.  Even if it makes the difference of letting the
liberal/democrat win,  perhaps that'll be enough to get the republicans to
shift their stance on some things.

assistant: Well, it is too often isn't it?  Then again, I'm all for it...in
beauty pageants! Hmmmmm, there must be something to this...afterall,
King Bill sure has a real thing for women who have been in beauty
pageants. Evidently they didn't really need to even be winners,
because I saw the pictures of about 12 of the ones he went after in
Arkansas...Yikes! Seriously, Hillary looked better than all but 2 or
3, and I'm talking about Arkansas Hillary when she still dressed
like a dyke.
Yet another reason I have no problem believing he put the moves on
Paula Jones. Creepy Carville and the rest can say what they will, but
she still looks as good as most of the women he's gone after. Wonder
if we'll ever get any more from that young gal in the White House? If
only a few more would follow Paula Jones' lead. It's not like there
aren't *plenty* of women, I've heard estimates of him getting it on
with thousands of women...and 200-300 men...He can't have had *all*
of them knocked off! Then again, I imagine it's probably difficult to
find many that have slept with Bill Clinton...still alive, and not
too embarrassed or afraid to admit it.
I know *I'd* be too embarrassed to admit it, but for the record, I
never had anything to do with him, even living in Arkansas during
the Clinton regime. You can easily tell too, since I still have all
my limbs...because if that slimeball ever got a hold on me, I'd gnaw
my own arm off to get away from him!

Of course Johnny will probably emulate the last TV show he saw
