Whoops, at least one other woman responded in the negative about this topic as I recall. I believe Nancy Melucci also complained. I also complained, in what I thought was a semi-reasonable tone to the perpetrator of this thread and his non-response was my reason for blocking him. I have also been told off-list, that some of his recent posts have been more rational than most of his former posts.

The soundest argument will produce no more conviction in an empty head than the most superficial declamation; as a feather and a guinea fall with equal velocity in a vacuum. - Charles Caleb Colton, author and clergyman (1780-1832) . Not thinking critically, I assumed that the "successful" prayers were proof that God answers prayer while the failures were proof that there was something wrong with me. - Dan Barker, former preacher, musician (b. 1949) . We have an obligation and a responsibility to be investing in our students and our schools. We must make sure that people who have the grades, the desire and the will, but not the money, can still get the best education possible. - Barack Obama, President of the United States of America --- To make changes to your subscription contact: Bill Southerly ([email protected])
