I'm for bringing back duels. In fact, I'll host them on my mowed field.
Shotguns at 25 yards are probably best for this group, since I doubt
there are more than three posters here who can hit the side of a barn at
that distance with a handgun.

Hey...I could sell tickets and send the proceeds to a favorite charity.
And no need for funerals; we'll just plow the losers into the ground for
fertilizer.


Just what *is* your favorite charity?
Salvation Army, Catholic Charities, United Jewish Appeal, and Lutheran
Charities, all of whom help support the local neediest.
All good, but you might broaden your horizons. Many of the 'neediest' also
suffer from some of the biggest medical problems like cancer and aids.

All the charities I listed support the neediest who have serious medical
problems, such as cancer and AIDS.

But none of them do research to prevent, cure, or better treat the
problems.

I'm glad to see Lutheran charities on your list. Normally those folks get a
chunk of my change, but this year the priorities are elsewhere.

There's plenty of $$$ going to research, but not nearly enough going to
help people in this country who are suffering.

I agree. It's a shame we can't get more folks interested in some of the
church and other private organizations that do a world of good. My
son-in-law, in Richmond, is one of the bigwigs in the Goodwill organization
down there. They are involved in a lot more than I ever thought.
