Unfortunately for the rest of us, they are so strident that they give the impression that they speak for even those who cringe at what they have to say. -- Mary, biblioholic bib-li-o-hol-ism : the habitual longing to purchase, read, store, admire, and consume books in excess. http://www.chibardun.net/~erilarlo

Cats are selfish, and they don't mind one little bit. Ever met a cat that could make you feel better about having a bad day at work? Come on, stroking it's belly isn't generosity! At least dogs will give you unconditional love. -- --- DFM - http://www.deepfriedmars.com --- --

I guess that's not the harmless type then. I've never known a humorous type of prejudice that's caused any net harm. -- --- DFM - http://www.deepfriedmars.com --- -- |
