Max,

It is possible for the Mind to store millions of bits of information
but still be uneducated;----I've forgot who made the statement but it
couldn't be truer when you look at the Oz post. If you print out the
http at the beginning of his line of BS you will see that the origial
had been retracked and that was in 2000.


Not surprising. The same hackneyed repartee is resurfacing four years
later. Not terribly original, are they.

As to your first comment, I believe Albert Einstein summed it up best, when
asked if he could recall, verbatim, a fairly simple mathematical formula.
He responded by asking the inquirer why anyone would memorize such a thing
when it could be obtained so easily from a printed reference. The
difference between educated people and those without the benefit of same is
that the scholar knows where to look to find answers to his dilemmas.

We found the answer to ours, Jon, on November 2.

(Sorry, but that was just too nice a straight-line to pass up.)

Here are the answers you found... people in the military ask only
three things. 1) They only be called to duty when there is clear need
(BushCo lied). 2) They be given the arms and the protection they need
to do their job (BushCo failed). 3) They and their families are taken
care of should they be injured or killed (BushCo doesn't).

I'm glad you like the answer.
