Talking dirty to those under 18 using electronic means such as
instant messaging and e-mails is illegal. (Due to a recently passed
federal law). Now you happy (grin)?

It is a tactic that worked. Don't you think others will try
the same thing if it succeeds in fooling all of the Democrats
all of the time?

My attitude changed. And the trigger was two little airplane
missles.

Yes. I'm working on a 1000 year scenario and trying to shortcut
the cold start so that it will only be 500 years.

Now I understand you. It is not Bin Laden's fault that he
is going to kill a lot of people. It's the Americans' fault
that caused Islamic extremists to want to destroy Western
civilization.

Since these extremists refer to events in the 14th
and 15th centuries, then it must be the Americans who
committed these acts that justfify the killing.
