[ wonderful quote snipped ] Thanks for the post, Andrew. I heard this on the radio the other morning, but I didn't have a copy. Yes, I'm far more interested in the ramblings of an old man than the ramblings of infantile George Bush haters. Since we're on mostly non-productive non-linux topics, here's a good one forwarded from my sister-in-law. <quote> Received from [EMAIL PROTECTED] A. The number of physicians in the US is 700,000. B. Accidental deaths attributed to Physicians per year is 120,000. C. Accidental deaths per physician is 0.171. (US Dept. of Health & Human Services) Then think about this: A. The number of gun owners in the US is 80,000,000. B. The number of accidental gun deaths per year (all age groups) is 1,500. C. The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is .0000188. Statistically, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners. FACT: NOT EVERYONE HAS A GUN, BUT ALMOST EVERYONE HAS AT LEAST ONE DOCTOR. Please alert your friends to this alarming threat. We must ban doctors before this gets out of hand. As a public health measure I have withheld the statistics on lawyers for fear that the shock could cause people to seek medical attention. </quote -- Collins Richey - Denver Area Athlon-XP gentoo 1.4_rc2 kde 3.1 _______________________________________________ General mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/general
