Not that I'm defencing slavery, just pointing out how different cultures can come to radically different conclusions relating to morality.

What did George Orwell ( Eric Blair) write? "Under the spreading chestnut tree, I sold you and you sold me.?

Well I can tell you for sure that Mac and I are not, I say not related even though we both come from Barsoom, which leaves out all of the rest of you.

Sounds incredible to me, but of course I believe everything I hear. I don't know which would be worse, being a Thurmond or a Sharpton.

Dear Blaise,

Nice theory, but it appears to me that in going through this so-called "BOTTLENECK" (http://www.curiousnotions.com/curiosity ... ?number=10) that somebody's head got squeezed (http://www.madhauscreative.com/Componen ... head03.jpg) a little too tightly for their own good.

Sometimes this (http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/4 ... y1.203.jpg) sort of thing gets ugly.

Please explain my sudden demise (http://www.bigmattress.com/mt-archives/ATT14.gif) to my poor cat now. I am sure that she will get no response from me.

On the other hand.....

If all men are brothers......Blaise, A-1 and myself are related to Paolo, Kristoff, Huevon and Slammr...

There ought to to be somebody in that group who's rich enough to adopt me
