-=> Quoting William Elliot to Clarence Hogan <=-
 >>> Clarence Hogan on Circular Argument 
 
 WE> Oh, so that's why Jesus loves Christians.
 CH> Yup, for did He not command us to love our enemies and would He
 CH> do no less?
 
 WE> Oh?   In his own memoirs he accounts some of his lapses
 WE> from his own commandments. 
 
 Not hardly, ya' probably need to read the whole thingy!  :)
 WE> It did?  Naw, according to you it included human error.
 CH> Yup, ever heard of the Garden of Eden?  :)  
 WE> Yup, Valhalla, Heaven, Nirvana, etc.
 Well, the Garden of Eden was meant to be Heaven for man, but he
 wasn't satisfied with letting well enough alone, right?
 WE> "It could probably be shown by facts and figures that the only 
 WE> distinctly native American criminal class is Congress." -- Mark Twain 
 
 CH> Yup, did notice Mark having a heart to heart talk with you!  :)
 
 WE> The old steamboat captain sure has a knack for blowing off steam when
 WE> he toots his whistle. -) 
 
 Yup, sure did, just like a little kid!  :)
 CH> Ya' know, I have heard Twain's stories all my life and have never
 CH> read one of his books!  I think I will read sum, if time ever
 CH> permits, for he was indeed a wise man from what little I know of
 CH> him!
 
 WE> Good idea.  Let me know what you find.  
 
 Might be a day or three, but will do!  :)
 WE> My childhood encyclopedia
 WE> indicated he lived from 1835 to 1910.  
 
 Well then, he made it to the year after my dad was born!
 WE> Hm, I wonder if he's included
 WE> in our 100 year old Encyclopedic Britannica.  
 
 That I don't know!
 WE> Likely this guy is a
 WE> neighbor of yours but he going to be hard to track down.  
 
 HeeHee, he might be my grand-dad since he lived till after my dad
 was born!  Might be why dad liked rivers, building dams on 'em!
 WE> Where's
 WE> Florida, Mo., his birthplace?  
 
 I was born in Moline, IL, but since I hit seven different states
 before I was a month old, I don't recall too much about that area!
 Didn't get my crawlin legs till I was cross the Mississippi!
 WE> And the lively river town Hannibal, his
 WE> boyhood town, where be that?  Not even my atlas will tell me. -) 
 
 Hummmm, if memory serves, isn't there a Hannibal, MO?  It seems that
 dad spoke of Hannibal, MO, where he lived at one time while building
 a bridge or dam one!  I may have pictures of it that he had when he
 died and left to me and boy are they old!
 WE> ... Mirvana, our place in space. -!-
 We were not created to live in space, but on the earth, don't cha' 
 know?
 
Just another humble servant of The Kingdom.......clarence.......
... I call things as I see them; If I don't see them, I make them up!
