   Now we're talking! I'll actually shamelessly steal that. From now on I   
   will never chance my mind. I'll transcend my views. ;)

   Ahh... Kentucky, the home state of Cassius Clay and Lance Burton! They   
   have a fine pedigree of world class performers!   
      
   How come you wanted to move to Kentucky or Tennesse? Besides the two   
   already mentioned, what do those two states have going for them? Is it the   
   women? The alcohol? The horses?

   I'll do my best! ;) After that I'll probably meet you around bush 17 just   
   north of the pearly gates. ;)

   Ahh yes the screaming. Many were the mgmt meetings when one hysterical   
   militant feminist was screaming at the world for punishing her. I find it   
   hilarious that a woman in a corporate mgmt meeting should scream that she   
   is punished by the world, when women in Iran are killed for not obeying   
   their men.   
      
   But hey, that's just me! ;)

   Yes... you've got it! It is always the fault of the white, old, male! ;)   
   Didn't it say on page 666 in the bible that satan was a white old male
