You raise a good point here. I was thinking just yesterday about the
pros and cons of legal abortion, of federalism versus a strong central
government versus a weak central government with strong state
governments.

Also the state of international law, self-reliance, unwed mothers,
vaccination scares, and genetic testing.

And of course, how all of these relate to home repair.

I'm interested in everyone's opinion, so come on y'all. Join in.

and smoking vs. non-smoking. I
wonder if anyone here ever heard of Netiquette, and more precisely,
"Hijacking a thread". It's a shame some people have to waste their
time scrolling through numerous useless messages, trying to get some
help. Just vetting. Thanks for listening.



Even my opinion? Being a smoker, I have an inferior IQ it was said. But
at
least I'm not dumb enough to say such a thing. My shoes all have TGIF on
them as a reminder...that Toes Go In First.

fyi, nothing is more tedious than an idiot who persists in trying to be
funny.

Or a critic.

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong
man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The
credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred
by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short
again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings;
but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm,
the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best
knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he
fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never
be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."
