What about the aboriginal americans? Nah, they get picked on enough throughout history. Just because it sounds pretentious, both sides of my family have ancestors who landed at Plymouth Rock on the Mayflower. Some fellow named Standish was one of them. -------------------- quote: Posts: 4114 | Registered: Monday, April 25 2005 07:00 |

It really depends on the geology of the area. Certain types of rock structure make good shock absorbers for earthquakes. Also, the types of buildings found in that area may be less damaging to humans, and it sounds like they all knew how to react to the danger. Not like in the US of A where they have told us for years to brace ourselves in a doorway. It turns out that was the wrong answer. -------------------- quote: Posts: 4114 | Registered: Monday, April 25 2005 07:00 |

What if you could only pick one of the above? It is not a wise use of resources to eradicate all illness. See Σίσυφος for more details.

Actually, childbirth used to be the leading cause of death for women of childbearing age. Modern medicine, while admittedly not the best system, has drasticly reduced this. Having worked in a hospital, I understand your concern about pathogens in that setting. Life (and death) happens and people get sick. Not everyone gets better. Nothing can be done to eradicate illness, not should there be. The mysteries of death, and gradual acceptance thereof, is actually one function of clergy that I hold in esteem.

They both have their positives and negatives. I've found that when shooting dogs they tend to run straight at the shooter, reducing the range and making for a smaller and closer target. Cats tend to freak out and hide, which makes them a much more satisfying target. Dogs are better swimmers, but cats really do try. Dogs have a harder time climbing out of a tree. Cat skeletons are much less creepy when found in unexpected places. So, in summary, they each have their proper place. -------------------- quote: Posts: 4114 | Registered: Monday, April 25 2005 07:00 |

He would have looked better in an Aquaman costume. As a fiscally conservative, socially liberal independent, I have found the slate of Democratic candidates to be an embarassment for the past 24 years. Prior to that I was not interested in politics. Perhaps lack of alternatives is what is pushing the electorate in the direction it is supposedly moving? -------------------- quote: Posts: 4114 | Registered: Monday, April 25 2005 07:00 |

Before you go all crazy praising the politicians from my home state, add in the other ones, like Kerry, Dukakis, and the Bush family. I realize that people like to get all dreamy about the Kennedy family, but realize that they got their inheritance from their smuggling operations. All told, the generation mentioned did a lot more good than bad, but they aren't saints. Not many willful politicians are saints. And stop aborting the topic by talking about abortions. It's not on the agenda. -------------------- quote: Posts: 4114 | Registered: Monday, April 25 2005 07:00 |

Email Jeff Vogel (link at bottom of web page) with your request. Include the name and address you used to order the games originally and the codes for the demo version you just finished downloading.

Snappy comeback notwithstanding, a software install took my computer into restart while I was smartifying my original response. a. No unifying cause isn't all the problem. There are too damn many causes asking for our attention. Save the [insert creature or environment] or stop [imminent disaster] and leave the planet in better shape for our children. Hell, if a person did all that stuff they would have no time to eat, breathe, or lock their doors to keep out the meth freaks. Information overload, insane time crunches, and inflexiblity in the space-time continuum all play a part. Inevitably it becomes easier to let some other take some of those responsibilities of our shoulders. It is a shame that more moderates (social and fiscal) aren't willing to shoulder the burden. Perhaps they... b. Don't SHOUT! Please. There has got to be some sort of topical survey on the voting pamphlet which flags uninformed voters and tosses out their vote. It is oft-repeated that the candidate or cause that saves the most advert dollars for the last 5 days before voting will always win the election. With all the junk in an average life, hearing the name "Joe Quimby" 50 times the day before voting might just win him the election. Since we've experienced the best, or most qualified, candidates not even making the primary cut, it is certain that existing political parties are out of touch with regular Americans. As such, one can not expect a viable government in this country. The social contract exists only at the level of the IRS. -------------------- quote: Posts: 4114 | Registered: Monday, April 25 2005 07:00 |

quote:I popped into existence after the eugenically motivated treatment of non-Aryans. I suspect most people on this board did so as well. I would think that since we didn't experience this stuff, the memories have indeed been imprinted into our brains. The Irving question is if we should collectively allow misinformation to be imprinted, and it is a troubling issue. It reminds me of the creation/I.D./evolution debate vis a vis schools and biology class. This is by no means an exact comparison, as there are living people which experienced the hatred themselves, and actual events are different than theories of anything. Anyway, two days ago I would have said "Who's he?" in response to inquiries. Now I know more. -------------------- quote: Posts: 4114 | Registered: Monday, April 25 2005 07:00 |
