<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I agree. The last post from Al Brooks on
Microevolution didn't seem to be much about microevolution either. I was
actually interested to see what he'd say about microevolution. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Please don't just barf in the list Al, its boring.
Two of your recent </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>posts have read like "blah,
blah. phglem, Cindy Sheehan, blah, blah, puke Valerie Flame". </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Seems like in your desired to deride what you
obviously find distasteful you have neglected to actually say anything at all.
</FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>Please stop just barfing in the
list.</FONT></DIV>

<BLOCKQUOTE class=cite cite="" type="cite">The Cindy Sheehan Show outside of
Crawford Texas displayed an exhibitionist streak in America, in this case
Grieving Angry Mommy Sobbing On TV. It wasn't Cindy's deceased son Casey who
starred in the show-- it was his very alive and kicking mother: "How could
Bush do this to my son Casey?", not Casey Sheehan but rather "my SON Casey
Sheehan". <BR>In Tom Wolfe's 'The Electric Kool Aid Acid Test' Ken Kesey
leads a few of his friends to an antiwar protest preceding a march and then
goes on a platform to the microphone in front of a large crowd: "You're
playing their game by marching, people have been marching for thousands of
years and still there is war", says kesey to audience, "And what are you
saying when you yell out loud for peace? You are saying, Me! ME! look at
ME!".<BR>Cindy Sheehan fits this like a glove, she is saying 'look at me! I
was just another grieving mother before, and now I'm a celebrity grieving
mother! Look at me! ME! Look at ME!' <BR><BR><BR><A
