Ed,   It must be that the Talmudic discussion with Keith is getting to you.   Lawry was funning and he did it well.   Enjoy, enjoy!   Harry   ******************************************** Henry George School of Social Science of Los Angeles Box 655  Tujunga  CA  91042 Tel: 818 352-4141  --  Fax: 818 353-2242 http://haledward.home.comcast.net ********************************************     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ed Weick Sent: Friday, November 28, 2003 3:34 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Harry Pollard; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Futurework] Bush's impossible problem of same-sex marriage I find this a little strange.  Don't all lives end in death?  And in the case of marriages, surely they end when one spouse dies unless they've already ended in divorce.  Or am I missing something?   Ed ----- Original Message ----- From: Lawrence DeBivort To: Harry Pollard ; [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 27, 2003 8:58 PM Subject: RE: [Futurework] Bush's impossible problem of same-sex marriage I did some research -- the numbers are available if you are willing to really look for them -- and the news is really a lot worse. The simple truth is that most lives end in death, I calculate about 98%, plus or minus 4%. This is based on careful sampling, and, though it may seem counter-intuitive, seems to be true of all cultures.  Also, I found out that Eskimos have many words for death, if you include euphemisms.   There is also some research that suggests that if enough people die, then more will die -- a sort of 100th Monkey effect.   Cheers, Lawry      --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
