GP>Aw, loosen-up, Earnie.  You ever spent time in Texas?
        Yep, probably spent at least a couple of years there, divided up
        into six weeks to a year at a time. I found Texans to be polite,
        a little reserved and they generally meant exactly what they
        said. I try to be the same. EP

GP>Well what does that mean, that I have to compromise by voting anti-gun &
GP>quit calling Dole an anti-gunner?  Is that civilized?
        No, I'd rather you just say what you mean, in a civilized
        manner. As John Wesley said, "profanity is the curse of a poor
        vocabulary". Calling people names and casting dispersions on
        their motives doesn't add to the strength of your argument. I
        don't mind the discussions, and I don't want you to shut up. I
        just prefer to discuss things in a more gentlemanly manner.
        Regards; Ernie P.
