Interesting.  I wouldn't completely trust *anyone* who's accurately 
described (esp. by themselves) as a BAC.  Doesn't mean I don't think 
everyone has the right to get more spiritual; just that I've had a 
bellyful of these loud, chest-thumping, proselytizing buggers [see earlier 
ref. to "press gangs" + Dylan's "...down in the hole that he's in" line].

Okay, had to put on
NP: "From a Buick 6" | Bobby Dylan | _Highway 61 Revisited_

And furdermore:  I ought to throw in my erstwhile much-used vitriolic, 
bitter, old recalcitrant reprobate comment of "If you emerged from the 
appropriate orifice the first time, there's no need to repeat the [birth] 
process."
  And I was going to ask what a BAC is doing talking about using a rocket 
launcher, but then some of the wacko bastards blow up buildings...
