JO> Please tell me this is a joke! I thought it was...at
JO> first...Now I wish I'd saved the file, at least for the bill

RJT> I certainly hope so!  It sure reads like a parody that someone

Yeah, I guess the worst thing is that we should ever even have to
entertain a doubt about such a thing being a joke...but with this
mis-administration, sometimes it gets *really* hard to tell!
RJT> Have you checked into this at all?  This is the first I've
RJT> heard of this nonsense.
I haven't heard anything else about it. When I read it I thought it
probably was a joke, even though it was written as if it were
serious. I can't even remember which echo I read it in, other than it
was a political echo...but for me, that only narrows it to about half
the ones I read. Sorry I didn't keep it. I looked in the packets I
still have, but I must have finally finished answering the one it was
in and deleted it. You know, I really thought it would make the
rounds whether it was a joke or not. I guess it's good news if we
don't hear any more about it though.

RJT> What are they gonna do,  have a camera in there,  like in

I guess some of them would just love that. But on the flip side, it's
supposed to be none of our business what the jerk in the White House
does on OUR time, in OUR building...Well, at least Owlgore was right
*once* in his life, when he said "down is up and up is down"...I just
don't think he was talking about laws or morality.

RJT> Well,  hey,  it's just one more for the list of stuff that's
RJT> now a felony...
Yep, what's the old saying? "Might as well be hung for a horse as
for a pig." They can only hang you once...thank goodness!
RJT> Why not,  since it then makes it illegal for us to own our
RJT> guns, right?
And we "right wing conspirators" know that is the bottom line--make
everyone a "felon" and no one owns a gun legally. The property
owners would lose theirs first--and with no guns, there is no way to
protect your property, from criminals in the streets or from the
ones from the White House.

So true. And they are all afraid they might get "shots" from us! ;)
... N.W.O. VIRUS: unknown, makes people really mad just thinking about it.
