I don't see much of the latter. You don't see atheists rallying around that guy because they believe in his principles. And... I just noticed where this happened. I spent my freshman year of college there (actually in Gambier; Mount Vernon is the closest town of any size near Kenyon College). Even in those days, Mount Vernon was the home of some, er, interesting people. Their favorite son is a general, whose name won't come to me, whose politics were somewhere to the right of Atilla the Hun, I believe. -- Nick Arnett [EMAIL PROTECTED] Messages: 408-904-7198 _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
