Thanks. I'd be willing to ceded the entire middle east to religious
zealots of all stripes if they'd promise to stay there and leave the
oil supply alone (for the boat of course). :-)

Hmm. Could we get ours to go there, Wayne?

Your Jewish relatives may all have to leave, Harry. They seem to be very
big in influencing US policy in regards to Israel.

My Jewish relatives? Hmmm. I don't recall discussing or even mentioning
my personal religious preferences here. Perhaps you might enlighten us.

you most likely have Jewish relatives, since your name is Krause. My sister
in law is Jewish, and I am Irish / Norwegian background.

it 350 or 380 tons of high explosives that went missing? How many

Does your comment somehow negate the fact that there are
millions
of
loonies
walking around who actually believe this rapture nonsense,
and
are
willing
to manipulate politics here and overseas to fit their
hallucinations?

That has nothing to do with the original subject of this
thread.



Makes as much sense as you stating there are 65 mm loonies
waiting
the
rapture.



Simple, for you:

The
Number
Doesn't
Matter



Oh, now it does not matter?



1) Nobody can accurately determine the number.
2) If there were just eleven, but they had the president's ear,
they'd
be
dangerous.
3) You know there are millions. The proof? Nobody buys television
time
to
address a tiny audience. Turn on your TV on Sunday morning.



Now it is probably millions? Get your facts somewhat straight
before
posting, and people may pay attention to you.



Is this really the best you can do? Fixate on a number which nobody
can
accurately determine?



Is this really the best you can do? Throw out a huge number and then
say
well, the real number does not count?



Read slowly: I did not pick the number, nor did I claim it was accurate.
I
can only come to the same conclusion which you will agree with
(internally),
but deny (publicly) because it's convenient.



No, you stated the number as fact. You can not back up your facts, so
your
argument is a fallacy.



No. The OP posted a story which claimed the number to be fact. The author
certainly estimated, and probably on the high side. But, that doesn't
matter. Let's try this again, and for the last time.

Since you believe religious zealots should not influence politics in the
Middle East, do you also believe they should NOT do the same here?


Yes.

You are now asking a simple question. Earlier you were trying to imply that some
ridiculous story you heard was true. There is a big difference.

Good. Write to your president. Better yet, scream at your legislators. Your
president wouldn't understand anyway.

The number mentioned in the story cannot be proved. The existence of large
numbers of such maniacs is clear, however.

This is your scientific approach? You should get yourself a job as a WMD
hunter for the Bush Administration.

Eddie "Moose" Krause wasn't Jewish. Of course, his real last name wss
Krauciunas. I don't believe the name "Krause" is anything more than a
German-origin last name.

My paternal grandfather's "real" last name wasn't Krause, either. He and
his brother got that name from an immigration agent when they landed on
Ellis Island. Though they were Russians, they were on board a ship that
began its journey in Germany. When my grandfather and great uncle arrived
here, the agent said their name was too long and too difficult to
pronounce, so he gave them the name of the guy in front of them.

That's what my grandfather told me. And I did see some paperwork from "the
old country" with his "real" name on it.

During the late 1930s, my father and his brother spent a bit of time
investigating whether they wanted to change the family name back to what
it was. But by then both of them were working for my great uncle at his
stores, and though that operation had an entirely different trade name, it
was known as "the Krause family business," so they kept the name.

That's what my dad and uncle told me many years later. They were born in
the Philadelphia area.

My mother's father was born in some awful little town on the German-Polish
border, and the "ownership" of that town changed hands between those two
countries many times. His family name was solidly German, but because of
geography, he spoke German and Polish fluently, and a half-dozen other
European languages, too.

My mother was born in Boston.

I don't consider myself a hyphenated American. If pressed, I'd say I'm a
Tankee, because I was born in New England and was reared and educated
there, for the most part. My wife is a southern belle, and has that soft
southern accent to prove it.

Harry: Based on Bill's logic, and the information you've provided here, it's
safe to conclude that there's between 32 and 34 pounds of air in my tires.
