AP's.  I was wrong.  (2) I thought that AP should have led off the
article with that point, which in my opinion was the most important
point of the article.  The fact that the Clintons along with the
federal judiciary soaked the taxpayers once again should have been
the title of the article and not simply an afterthought.  Many
people only read the first few sentences of an article and skip
along to the next article.

assistant: Because of the Nichols sentencing this week, the Daily Oklahoman
newspaper listed the eight government agents killed during the OKC
bombing.  (It sure makes you wonder why ONLY EIGHT out of the over
200 killed in this government office building were government
employees.  I'd prefer to see ZERO people killed, but where was
everyone who worked there?  Were they simply lucky to not get
killed?)
Interestingly, out of the eight, most were Indians (excuse me,
native Americans), but two of the eight caught my attention.  One
was a Waco, Texas native and BATF agent.
The other was a Secret Service agent who only one month before the
bombing had been assigned to the White House.  This guy must have
had some real bad luck.

This one REALLY takes the cake (or, at least, the mudpie!):

goes to California for sagely naming "San Joaquin soil" as
the "Official State Dirt of California."
Official State Dirt??? Is that so the politicians can make sure

Write your reply.

assistant: On 12-30-97, MARK FORNOFF declared to JUSTIN BAUSTERT:
There are exceptions to most every rule, but Christ's indictment was
against the behavior of that group called "lawyers" taken as whole.
There simply are not enough exceptions in that group, which it is
important to note today includes most in political office, to mediate
against that indictment.
A few weeks ago, Bob Enyart engaged in debate with a group of law
students, a number of them professed Christians, in an exchange that
spanned 2 or 3 of his hour-long shows.  They had called the show in
reaction to comments about lawyers Enyart had made, and were voicing
their objections, like that lawyer in scripture.  Before it was over,
they must've had somewhere around 20 phones set up based on the photos
they gave Enyart later - phones everywhere, several rooms, dorm
hallways, and more students than phones.  Very enlightening, including
to the law students themselves, who were forced to admit time and again
that much of what they had *thought* was ethical and moral, because it
is viewed so in eyes of their chosen profession, really isn't - not even
close.
What had already happened with those students is common in the legal
world, and elsewhere too - they had come to equate what is legal at any
given time with what is moral and ethical.  To put it another way, they
had unwittingly begun to set man's law and legal rules as supreme over
God's law, and to structure their moral and ethical code accordingly, to
their discredit.
Remember from whence come the Clintons.

assistant: Actually, I don't know.  The use of the sling and the power of the
sling was demonstrated with the result of penetrating the forehead of a
thick-skulled Philistine.
        The power is generated by the length of the rawhide cords, weight of
the projectile, cup of the pocket, the gentle swing at the start, the
acceleration of the projectile up in front, diagonally across the chest and
the instant accelerative snap just prior to loosing the free cord.
        NASA will be using this same principle for the Capizzi (?) spacecraft
when it orbits Jupiter(?) a couple of times snaps orbit and then
sling-shots"
around the earth.  Having used a real sling shot, this maneuver of
"sling-shotting" 73 pounds of plutonium around the earth to gain galaxial
escape velocity and multiplying speed somehow leaves me very doubtful.
        The sling shot is hard enough to control.  I wonder if their
technology  is so fool proof that they can accomplish this with no previous
experience or really practical data.  Especially since the earth wobbles
instead of spinning.  (Now hows that for a segue from the sling-shot to a
chance to crab about think-tankers presuming to be accurate with something
they've never done right yet?)

cold,
        I believe there are more than 50 bodies that we >Know< of!  And to

Does this mean that the Military is concealing anti-American events?  Do
hese
people know more than they say about Schlick Willy?
I think it's time we somehow started a Military Political Whistle blowers
award program.  The only way we know of this is a couple of Officers who made
a press release or told somebody and the press followed up.
        Now I am bothered.  How much more of WhiteWaterGate do we not know?
How much is Clintone involved in at least 50 deaths?
Perchance we should change the name of the White House to the "Dung House"

Write your reply.

assistant: Hmmm.  Muskets were muzzle loaders as I recall.  The ones that were
rifled were beech loaders.  I've a friend near Oak Ridge that has an
authentic, operational Springfield.  According to him, it wasn't a very good
rifle and couldn't achieve the velocity your speaking of.  At 100 yards, he
couldn't hit a man sized target 8 0f 10 shots.  It had a great bayonet
hough.
        I think I have what your hinting.  Goliath died of shock!  Right? ;-)
But.  Even as a 14 year old, I could break a shiplap siding board on a house
at a hundred yards.  Of note, the sling - shot is not a thing you just start
spinning and let-er-rip somewhere on the diameter.  It is that final
centrifugal snap wherein the power is generated. That is roughly 1/3 of the
arc. (or zip.<g>.)
        That's where this darned Capissi Spacecraft is so spooky.  It will
almost re-enter the earths atmosphere for that `snap'.  That is why so many
are a bit concerned about using earth as the source of power to shoot that
contraption off to who knows where.  Let's compute 73 pounds of plutonium
loosed in the atmosphere. (Grumble. Perfectly good segue built up and we got
Goliath dropping dead of shock!  You know he was a Palestinian didn't you?)
        So?  What can a good heavy sling deliver for 50 yards besides a rock
or ball-bearing?  A San Diego Gang Grenade?  Rotten eggs?  It will launch a
toy parachute to about 200 ft up.

Write your reply.

assistant: our
xaggerating
truth.
        FYI, the Military services maintain central data info services.  If
you are authorized to have such information, you may inquire through the
appropriate Data center for information.  Otherwise, any military service
seems to be only requirement to be able to lie your tail off about everything
that has ever happened under the sun.  Of course that is a form of fraud, but
it only edifies the teller of the stories.
        When you spin yarns about someone else, that's libel and caninjure
someone else.  It also damages the originator's spirit.  EX: One such
non-religeous individual made all sorts of claims to many people about a
`religeous person'.  That person's rep was damaged, but disipated over the
years.  At the time of this writing, all individuals who received the lies
nd
believed them are quite separated and don't care to even be around one
nother
anymore.  Thus, one man's lies about another gained him some importance, but
eventually everyone involved was damaged to the point that all fellowship was
lost.
        Murmering profits no one and the one whogossips usually finds
themselves all alone.
        Best to leave well enough alone and separate yourself from the
stories.
