was basically a dead black slave with a hook for his right hand. The very

I was never taught ANYTHING about the holocaust at all through grade school.
As a matter of fact, if i didnt watch the history channel, i wouldnt even
know who said the Kennedy Speech "Ask not... blah.." or the two Neil
Armstrong quotes "Tranquility base here.. the eagle has landed... or....
Thats one small step for maaaan.... one... giant leap for mankind" or half
the other stuff i've picked up. As a matter of fact, teh only time i learned
ANYTHING was when i was in prep school in Massachusettes.. the rest of my
time through grade school i learned nothing.. homework consisted of busy
work, and that was about the extent of it. I did learn quite a bit about
Architecture and Drafting and that sort cause i had a good teacher, but all
my teachers have prety much sucked.  .

Yeah.. both are still bad though. And just thought i might want to mention
something, i hope im not starting any fights here.. but did you know, that
the background of the Jewish race is to disreguard anyone who isnt Jewish?
Obviously they dont still follow this.. at least most dont, but they have a
saying, "Goyum" which means basically.. all who arent Jewish are monkeys.
Some other religions and races have similar sayings too, like i believe the
Muslim have this thing.. anyone who isnt muslim is scum.. which is why they
have that Ethnic cleansing or whatever word they use to justify it. Im
wondering if my own religion (christianity) has anything to that effect.

Write your reply.

assistant: Nope, she was Henry VIII's oldest surviving daughter, who died of cancer at
the age or 43 or thereabouts.  She got the moniker from making it a capital
offense to be a practicing Protestant in England.   One of the available
punishments, as I recall, was beheading.  OTOH, she was actually pretty
typical of the monarchs up to that point in England, at least for a Tudor.
This is pretty far off-topic, and I probably have some facts screwed up, but
anyway....
It does make you wonder what the lawmen of that day thought of all the stuff
you could get hung, shortened, or drawn and quartered for....  A few decades
earlier, having the wrong ancestors was enough to ensure a trip to the
headsman.  That one didn't happen as much in Mary's time, because the family
line in question had been pretty well wiped out by her father and
andfather.
And we thought American politics was rough!

assistant: Although I'm not a LEO... I am a driver and, too, wanted to know the
answer so, I did some checking.  Commercial drivers and chauffeurs with
passengers, and trucks carrying flammable cargo must stop within 15 to
50 feet of railroad tracks before crossing... unless of course the
crossing is marked with an exempt sign.  We (you and I) must always stop
at railroad crossings if the following two conditions exist:
1. Flashing warning signal or if a flagger is present
2. If your vehicle is carrying a hazardous material
BTW, I live in Iowa so the above may or may not apply to you.
Although I can't find the answer in my Iowa Driver's Manual... you are
correct (again if you live in Iowa).  How do I know?  I found out while
taking my drivers test... ooops! :)

assistant: I never said I was an LEO or anything related to it.  Charles has.  However,
what he says and does doesn't match up, so many people including me ask for
his credentials.  Sorry, I may not be an LEO, but I AM smart enough to know
when someone's full of it and acting like an arrogant SOB, until recently
(probably to rebut us more effeciently).  I know how inportant
confidentiality is to a first responder, such as a police officer or a
lifeguard.  However, I also know how important it is not to hide behind it,
which Charles has effectively done.  What we need is an outside party to
settle the disagreements between Charles, me, and some of the others that
have like me discovered that he's probably full of it.  Unfortuantely, we
have no place in cyberspace other than the internet we can do that, because I
can't afford the long distance charges.
