[Tfug] Semi-off-topic...a good quote of mine made the AZ Star...

[Matthew T. Eskes]

So like, seriously, am I a bad person because I've been asked to join the
masons on multiple times throughout my past. The only reason I hadn't gone
was because I didn't have the time. 

-- The Founding Fathers struggled for the principle that man could and
should be trusted with his own destiny. Our current /domestic/ enemies,
against whom those Americans in uniform are sworn to defend, do not believe
in this principle, but we have again won a round in the endless fight
against them.

Oh for God's sake.  Stupidity is apparently contagious.

SIGH.

Eric, my final word on all this, is that you need to learn to figure
out whether or not a given website is credible.  I've given you a
basic primer.  It's about proof.  No proof, it's BS.
