assistant: On 01-31-98, JOHN SAMPSON declared to ROBERT PLETT:
Like I said, it's a crime our society has chosen to ignore.  In Exodus
20, it follows murder and precedes stealing in the Ten Commandments.  In
some societies, it still carries the death penalty - it hasn't been all
that many years since a Saudi princess was beheaded for that crime, or
something closely akin to it.
o
I don't disagree with you about that, John.  But, how is it we've come
to such a state?  Isn't it because people like us haven't insisted on
calling it the crime that it is?  If we don't say it, who will?  If we
don't call for enforcement, who will?
Intolerance for evil is a good thing, not the bad thing LIbErals want us
to believe.

assistant: On 01-31-98, MIKE ANGWIN declared to ROBERT PLETT:
A misdemeaner in D.C., according to John Sampson.
That an act enjoys legality makes it something that is not criminal by
statute, and not punishable under the laws of the state.  However,
legality under statute does not lessen the fact of criminality, whether
it be so according to God's law, which adultery is, or whether it be so
in terms of decency and/or impact on society.  For example, slavery,
particularly as practiced in this country (indentured servitude was
called slavery, but is a whole different thing), was always criminal,
despite its legality under the Constitution, and today is criminal by
statute.  Abortion is criminal as well, despite all pronouncements to
the contrary by this country's courts, and was criminal by statute for a
very long time.  As noted in my previous message to John, adultery
follows murder and precedes stealing in the Ten Commandments, and in
some societies, it is still punishable by death.  It is an act that is
harmful to the people as a whole, to the society in which they live, and
therefore is a crime against the people.

assistant: It doesn't justify diddly, to, ahem, coin a phrase. <G>
History is replete with anecdotal incidents where gays and lesbians
married, had families, and fronted a "normal" life only to come out of the
closet sometime down the road. This simple fact debunks any claim by the
gay and lesbian community that homosexuality is a genetic matter or an
inherited matter.
If one stopped for a moment and thought about the science, they would
realize that homosexuality, if it was indeed inherited, would have
disappeared many years ago since the gene wouldn't have been passed onto
offspring since the offspring wouldn't have been born in the first place
due to lack of "relations" between mother and father.
A Soap Opera? Hey, now THAT's an idea. The title of the program could be
"Pennsylvania Avenue" or "1600"! The Thomasons could produce it!

compromised ourselves to death.
Now, talk about narrow-minded...the mainstream PTB suddenly told
Leroy Pyle (extremist board member) to take the NRA emblem off his
page. It's the "Members for a better NRA" part that they must hate.
They threatened a lawsuit for unlawful use, but they must have
forgotten that part on their page that had the emblem and banner on
it, saying use to these and spread them around. As soon as this was
pointed out, they took it off. They are sure going to a lot of
trouble to shut Leroy up. I'm furious now, so I'm going to put up a
"Members for a better NRA" section on my page too, and put a little
blank spot and next to it "Emblem witheld due to new NRA's "No
extremists" rules.
I hate to see this acrimony, but if the people in charge are corrupt
and selling us out anyway, what good are they? Well, other than that

assistant: CY� I'll still stick with the dirt as being the stupidest state

CY� How many different soils were considered for this coveted
CY� honor?
CY� What distinguished San Joaquin Soil so that it could lay claim
CY� to the noble designation as the official dirt of the great
CY� State of California?
CY� What of the soil from other parts of California -- what made
CY� them inferior to the San Joaquin Soil?
(209) I thought that area code looked familiar. Fresno? I lived in
Bakersfield for 12 years.
Now, I don't know what *THEY* mean by San Joaquin Soil, but I know
that it's "special soil"! It's so special it's the only soil you can
get San Joaquin Valley Fever from. Yippee! Did you ever hear the
legend that the spores are from  dust of the bones from American
Indians that had their burial grounds disturbed? Shades of
Poltergeist! ;)  I don't know how true that is, but every time there
was a dust storm I'd have a bad allergy attack, and almost all the
major outbreaks of Valley Fever follow a dust storm. Weird, huh?
I never had an allergy in my life until I moved there 18 years ago,
and I still have them. The doctors out there later figured I'd caught
a mild touch of Valley Fever when the first signs of allergy came up.
(My brother lived there too, and he tested positive for it, same
symptoms as mine). But I suppose we'll just be thankful for the "mild"
cases, since a bad case can kill you!
You got that right. I love the white rocks up by Lake Isabella. You
