assistant: Hi Christopher, as you were just saying about Re: Choices.......
And you have a credible source for "unreported" abortions?  This
should be a winner.  :^)
I can go to actual sources.  Since you asked, 52% of the abortions
take place in 8 weeks or less; 25% take place between 9-10 weeks; 12%
between 11-12 weeks; 6% between 13-15 weeks and 4% between 16-20 weeks.
 As you can see, the majority of abortions take place prior to the 9th
week.
Source:  Alan Guttmacher Institute as per the Wall Street Journal.
Before I accept them, I need to see a credible cite.  Something other
than you.  Nothing personal but, those are the cold, hard facts.

assistant: Charles Hunter wrote in a message to Alan Rackmill:
Caller ID allows you to twit out specific individuals by you not answering
the phone. You decide which phone numbers get placed in the catagory of "I am
not going to amswer the phone if this number shows up on the ID screen".
A twit filter does the same, but uses a name instead.
It takes all the messages with the specified name and deletes them before you
ever see them.
Same as if you didn't answer the machine.
You can also configure the twit filter to take the messages and put them in a
special dorectory so incase you decide you really do want to  read them, you
can do so, just like you can decide to answer a call even though the
"twitted" number shows up on the ID screen.

one with a bit of a harsh approach to what he perceived as stupid
questions and who didn't want his exact agency revealed on the net ran
into some challenges as to his veracity a couple of years ago.  HE,
unlike Charles, was willing to communicate candidly with the other LEO's
via netmail and other private channels. So, even though other LEO's
indeed verified his status, a flame war erupted and someone suggested
that the LEO might be nothing but a burger flipper, so this LEO softened
his approach and took on the "burger flipper" identity.  In the end, the
LEO was accepted and respected as a law enforcement professional who had
personal reasons for semi-anonymity.  His station remains a secret, but
most know what type of agency he works with and the general area, a
Canadian Province.
Charles, who still appears to be an impostor is just trying to get on
the same band wagon.  He hasn't noticed two things... first it isn't
original and just makes him appear that much more foolish, and second,
it ain't working.   He has garnered very little respect.

assistant: that
b
You put it into words extremely well!
I see a distinct correlation between young folks' attitude and the kinds
of entertainment they're involved in, particularly the kinds of music
they listen to and the way they dress.  The pounding, ear splitting,
repetitive beat coupled with the anti-authority, morbid styled lyrics of
so-called "rap" and hard rock music HAS to have a negative effect on
young minds. Sloppy, ill fitting clothes, hair styles, and outlandish
body jewelry are (IMO) outward signs that the individual is trying to
adapt the ideals (or lack thereof) that these media represent.
The next sign of degenerating attitude is disrespect for parents,
teachers, and other authority figures.  The decline to complete lack of
respect for life is a natural process when these attitudes are allowed
to continue unchecked.
Herein we have a definite problem... how to governor the input of such
trash to their minds without creating a rebellion that is
counter-productive.
When my son wanted to migrate to wild styles I had a talk with him about
what _I_ thought those things represented.  Of course he disagreed <g>.
So, I made a deal with him.  I'd allow the sloppy clothes and hair
styles (we didn't get into nipple rings) until I noted a change in his
_behaviour_.  The choice of how to dress was his, but the judgement of
behavioral patterns was _mine_.  He found that to dress that way and
not act that way was virtually impossible. Fortunately he realized that
a person's _appearance_ reflects the person and quickly decided that
he'd rather not be perceived as a degenerate. We both won.
