[about Bush administration officials and their connection to a group
that favors stoning people to death for offenses that violate Biblical
teachings, such as stoning women to death for extramarital affairs]

Check it out for yourself:

Also, keep in mind that the Bush Administration unofficially requires
staff members to attend Bible study in the White House, and at least
one member of the staff has resigned over this unofficial requirement.
Draw your own conclusion. For further information, check out an
article in the Baltimore Sun (www.sunspot.net) about Bush and
religion:
"Bush turns increasingly to language of religion," (Published: 02/10/03)
Here's another interesting little tidbit of information connecting the
Shrub administration to religious extremism, displaying the
administration's apparent dislike for science and rational thought
(does anyone want to place a bet on how long it will be until an
"Intellectual Thought Crimes Act" is proposed by the administration?):
President Bush has announced his plan to select Dr. W.
David Hager to head up the Food and Drug
Administration's (FDA) Reproductive Health Drugs
Advisory Committee. Hager is a practicing
obstetrician-gynecologist, and sources told Time
magazine that in his private practice he will not
prescribe contraceptives to unmarried women. He is also
the author of a book which suggests that women who
suffer from premenstrual syndrome should seek help from
reading the bible and praying.
The Reproductive Health Drugs Advisory Committee is
responsible for offering expert scientific and medical
advice to the FDA on matters relating to drugs used in

Conspiracy. The word is conspiracy, as most people, of reasonable
intellect, learned by the time they were old enough to vote or discuss

has much of anything to do with conspiracy theories, despite your
fanciful thinking. Does denying reality truly make you happy?
> We're actually fairly close neighbors. Someday I'd like to meet
Eh? We might both be on the same side of the Mason-Dixon line, but
you're in a different state... not exactly close by. Alas, we're not
close enough neighbors for a nice neighborly feud... dang. ;-)

Here's the key to understanding what I've written: Try thinking for
yourself----that's what you have a useable brain (it must be somewhat
functional, as you appear to have sense enough to like DEC equipment
:-)) for, and you may begin to understand not only my way of thinking,
but the way of thinking of the many other individuals on this
list---who are capable of independent thought, whether or not they
share any of my views. I don't claim to always be 100-percent
correct, although I can at least say that I think for myself, and I
try not to be a pawn of the propaganda pushers on the right or left.
