Mr. B:
Praying for peace won't cut it.  The other side is praying also.  Integrity
in leadership?  Jimmy Carter is considered laughing stock by hard core
politicos.

We have an administration (sic) that is chomping at the bit to go to war
with the country that controls the second largest known oil reserves on
Earth.  This is being done to protect, in the president's words, the
"American Way of Life".  Well, the "American Way of Life" has turned out to
be based on the concept that "If you got it - waste it".  "If you don't have
three times what you need, then you ain't quite made it".  So we are going
to kill a whole bunch more A-rabs to make sure we get enough gas to put into
our snowmobiles, private airplanes, motorboats, jet skis, motorized skate
boards and whatever we think is necessary for our "way of life".

 **NOTHING EXEMPLIFIES THE SO-CALLED "AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE" BETTER THAN THE
SUV**

If you are into vanagons you are into appreciating things for what they
are - not for what they say about you or what people will think about you.
