Hiya Handsome,

Rai> Hiya Goodlooking
M> You again?

 Gee Thanks );-)

Rai>>>> On top of this the cat got pregnant ...

Just to keep in line with the disaster are that is my life. The vet 
yesterday told me that the kid's treasured kat wouldn't survive a desex 
op. Has irregular heart beat. Not a year old & may not live for another 2...

We've not told her yet. Have I said "my life sux" lately? Not that 
complaining helps any. I've noticed the more I do the worse things get. 
Better we just appreciate Princess's company while we have her.

Rai>> ... can't understand how bigots like that can function ...
M> Bigots always believe they represent all "right-thinking" people.

 As long as they are the 'right" kind of thinking people - who 
don't seem to actually think. It's like the tagline "Common sense isn't" 
there is nothing common with a particular brand of bigotry - just the 
mechanism.

Problem as I see it - the numbers of the "right" thinking just don't add 
up. Each "right thinking group" can't be more than a fraction of a 
fraction of the world population. AFAIC there's a serious flaw with the 
social mechanism that support their phony expectations of belonging to 
the 'majority thought'.

Problem is that trying to change that social mechanism doesn't seem to 
work - after all you can lead a whore to culture but you can't make her 
thing...

M> They never explain what they mean, which automatically makes them 
suspect.

Yeah - teaching the kid to make sure that people are using the same 
definition of words. Remember _Allen's Parson's Project_ "I believe in 
freedom & charity, as long as I get mine"...

Luckily she's interesting in deconstructing  puns - it's not as if I 
don't expose her to enuf puns 

M>>> I hope this is the year it all turns around for you, Ray. I'd say
M>>> you're /long/ over-due.
Rai>> Thanks Chickybabe. Years ago I gave up saying I have my 7 years
Rai>> bad luck & am looking for my 7 years good luck...
M> Q-landers can't /all/ be that bad off.

 Just us misfits??? I don't know. Maybe I'm just got too high 
expectations.

M>>> Remember, you still have those of us remaining upon whoo you may
M>>> cry, and to whom you may rant.
Rai>> Unfortunately ranting gets us no where.
M > Perhaps, but it bleeds off stress.

OK I'll admit to that. I've a number of "sanity checks" - & am always 
gad for this one...

Rai>> ... reply from ... Mayor's ... NOT impressed with her bigoted little
Rai>> Alderman. ...

M > I should hope so.  Some people forget they have people they answer
M > to, besides the voting serfs.

Always fun to see the members from various local Fundy churches trying 
to distance themselves from his madness. _&_ I'm making sure they know 
_why_ the Fundy wackjob shot his mouth off - well our theory. Better yet 
everyone I'm told my _theory_ (stressing it as this) agree that it is a 
coincidence the short time period between the two's fight & him shooting 
his mouth of...  Which of course gives me an opening to 
grump about the local easter Fundy Fest .... I mean "Gospel Festival" 
... Funnily enough no one finds it acceptable for the ijiots 
turning the local war memorial's marshaling grounds into Fundy Fest car 
park - 

Rai>> Sounds like he was trying to increase his political profile - hope
Rai>> he likes the taste of shoe leather...

M > The problem with increasing your profile in any way:  You're that much
M > bigger a target, an all senses of the word. 

The local media has a strong dislike for his (not unique I'm afraid) 
brand of bigotry.

M >   Hope he's learned to dodge ... but not very well.

Dodge ball anyone?? 

M > Moebius, who keeps a low profile for a very good reason.

I'm not in that position. I'd rather not be public figure. I'd be quite 
happy to leave it to another person - just we don't have a large pool to 
chose from 

M > ... Call it a program. They'll never realize that it's a magic spell.
