Bill, Ive read your post over and over, I must be a dum country boy because I sure don't read anything that should piss anybody off. And if it did, who gives a big shit? Hell what will it matter in a hundred years anyway. Professor Turd hopper Silas

Heft [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 16, 2008 10:07 PM To: QUAD LIST Subject: [QUAD-L] Re: Our Relationship With Others Normal: a: according with, constituting, or not deviating from a norm, rule, or principle b: conforming to a type, standard, or regular pattern: occurring naturally <normal immunity>4 a: of, relating to, or characterized by average intelligence or development. Abnormal: deviating from the normal or average. I quote from one of my statements in my last post, "Once again, I am only expressing my own thoughts and ideas on these matters. Please do not assume me to be dictatorial or presumptuous with my statements." Or perhaps I am mistaken. I was under the impression that a member of this list still retained the freedom of expression. I quote from another source. In a move entitled 'Uncommon Valor', a movie that is dear to my heart because I served with many of my beloved brothers in Vietnam. A statement from this movie was made by an actor named "Sailor", who said, "Man,you don't ever quit." Yes, yes, I've heard it all before, on how men like me are politically incorrect for being involved in that crazy Asian war. I personally don't care, even though the cause of my t-1 & 2 condition is from Agent Orange. All I'm describing is what is best for me. I haven't and I never will quit trying. If I drop something, and it takes me a half an hour to pick it up, who's going to complain, or will the politically incorrect police come and arrest me? You say that it's important to conserve your strength for the important things, well struggling to exist everyday is my form of freedom, and that to me is the most important thing in life. Perhaps the prejudice on this list run the other way, and apparently I don't qualify as being a legitimate quadriplegic, at least not on this list. I made a mistake by joining, but that's ok, I make many mistakes. I'm sure there may exist other lists such as this one, or maybe there isn't. Either way it doesn't make any difference. Bill of Ill.
