  when even an environmentalist leftie admits that things are getting better, what hope is there for an early end to this system of things??.

  OK YK, let's narrow it: if neither war nor peace broke out tomorrow, but a continuation of the way things are today "broke out", would THAT fulfill prophecy??

  I didn't realise it was that big; I should have figured it out from all the hotels and motels being booked out. Let's just say her Bible study leader has "connections"... LOL

  As for our do on Sunday, are you or anyone else attending able to pick me up from a railway station on the way? Just name the time and the station, and I'll be waiting. Email me with details, anyone who can help...

  skeptics of the world, unite!.

  as i slowly and deliberately nursed a nonalcoholic cup of coca-cola tonight, something motivated me to pull out my notes on infinitism and share them with you good folks here.

  infinitism is a philosophical school of thought that advocates the epistemological "suspension of judgment.

  Hey, I like your ambition! Might have to clear it with Brooklyn first... Of course, you could as Pope deliver the entire Catholic empire to them on a plate; could be promising!

  Contrast this four year old on Rodney Dangerfield's webpage
  ( http://www.rodney.com/email.asp ):

  Just before the lst of the year, my great niece who is 4 years old wanted to know if The Grinch was going to steal New Years. Since this gave me a laugh, I started wondering what other people's kids ask or say that might have some humor in it. So, I thought maybe you folks would like to write me and tell me about the things your kids say.

  There's one little lady whose life and imagination hadn't been stifled!

  Bboyneko, your own response was just what I was going to suggest to Mr Moe: first get accommodation organised, then get your long term future sorted - job, college education etc.

  I don't like your chances, Mr Moe. An elder has a lot of image to uphold and from the sound of things, good relationships with the powers that be will probably be more expedient than good relationship with a "rebellious" child. Some people respond well to a total severance from their old life of slavery - that it took you so little time to make up your mind that you've been living a lie is impressive. If you approach all your life decisions with such boldness, confidence and decisiveness, then the worst of your probs is probably over...
