Well, I don't know much about Kruschev other than he backed down against the blockade in Cuba. Whether he is a murderer or not is not for me to decide. Same thing goes for the Chinese leaders. And if the prophet does shake hands with murderers--all I can say is I am terribly disappointed and I disapprove. Oh well. I suppose that these guys you call murderers have already been baptized by proxy? What a deal. :-( Paul O [EMAIL PROTECTED] ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO! Juno offers FREE or PREMIUM Internet access for less!
