Not to worry, John. Horses are just Donkeys with smaller ears. I can take 'em any day. But that's just me. Scrappy to the end. ;) > > > > > Anyway > > > > I am really grooving on your post here.

Don't know what I am anymore. Atheist is a term defined by those we oppose. Doesn't say anything about what we think. Big difference. I'm opposed to organized religion on principle, so I guess that makes me an atheist. Ok. No problem. Wait... that might make you an atheist too in some circles. Boy do I hate Texas! 23 days of 100 degree plus with 90% humidity - cake icing. But Texan's don't believe in Global Warming. Go figure. Wonder what it will take?
