Dave, you're right. Heart-wrenching, emotional stuff. How I could possible have missed ZZ Top is beyond me. "She got legs / she knows how to use'em" is another classic. ;^) cheers, uwe -- mail replies to Uwe at schuerkamp dot de ( yahoo address is spambox) Uwe Schuerkamp //////////////////////////// http://www.schuerkamp.de/ Herford, Germany \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ (52.0N/8.5E) GPG Fingerprint: 2E 13 20 22 9A 3F 63 7F 67 6F E9 B1 A8 36 A4 61 |

Not really, all you need are religions that don't turn spreading themselves to the "heathens" and "infidels" into a holy duty of the believer. That's why the major world religions are so "successful". (much like a virus is to be considered successful, until it finally kills its host organism). Forcing our cultural vision onto others is a major asset of our global taker culture, be you muslim or be you christian or whatever, at the root there's the common belief that we know the way man is supposed to live.

You've had 1 major tragedy, albeit a very, very sad day indeed, but, as the saying goes, 'One swallow doesn't make a summer'. That happened over 3 years ago and yet you use the rhetoric that americans are 'continually' being killed in their 'thousands'. Exaggeration indeed. As another saying goes, 'Why let the truth get in the way of a good argument?' -- Pete Ives Remove All_stRESS before sending me an email |

Excuse me. We lost nearly 3000 souls on 9/11.....on American soil. I don't give a rats ass where they called home or what nationality they were. |

As it happens, I *do* know the way man is supposed to live, so there!!! Wanna know? "Be excellent to each other" Of all people, *George Clooney* (!!) summarised my feelings brilliantly. "I don't believe in happy endings - either you die young or you live to see those you love die. I believe in happy travels..." A tad nihilistic, perhaps, but as good a code as any |
