Mom was a *real* Baptist. Thought for herself, made up her own mind. Voted to acquit when the police witness answered, "I can't recall." Many years before Hillary said that. Oh, P.S.

I must say though, that at least half of my extended family are Southern Baptists, including my dear dead Mom. I know whereof I speak. What annoys me so much about this is that the Baptists started out as the skeptics, the free-thinkers among the Christians. Somehow, lately, lots of 'em seem to be more into sucking up to authority - *any* authority, even some tiny local authority like Phred (spit!) Phelps. If you wanna do that, there's the Church of Rome, which is at least a rational, consistent, homogeneous world-wide authority. Ah, Steeljaw, I catch yer drift, there.

See when you do one good thing of merit you sometimes have to rely on those points for years to come :) About Jimmy, he reminds me a bit of our own Joe Clark, a one term [well in Joe Who's case (as the media tagged him), less than one term] leader who made much more of a legit name for himself after leaving politics than while supposedly "running the country". Perhaps being President or Prime Minister (respectively) was just the practice run.

I'll see your 8 months in the fresh air with stores and mail and raise you 74 days without sunlight, much less fresh anything or mail.
