"Watching the wanton whale frolicking in the azure-blue sea off the coast
of Mendocino, Dorrick ruminated on the incredible year past, not without
some amusement, and then, hesitating only a moment before turning to his
wife, Griselda, waiting fretful as a fiddler beside him, he murmured,
'Don't they remind you of us, dear?'" --Terry O'Neal

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance—not soap-boxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory'—with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds—is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
