I mean limits like age restrictions. Aaron said marriage isn't a right. I think it is, with minor limitations. I couldn't site you the case, but that's my impression. Atheist boy here thinks all supernatural religions are stupid, and lack any standing for civil law. (But I am 100 percent in favor of voluntary associations of all kinds). So it should come as no surprise that I think two people of the same sex should be able to marry. I'd even consider multiple partner marriages, if there was some way to prevent them from gaming the system, and with proper safeguards for downstream spouses. - - Steve __________ No matter where you go, there you are. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 10 Jun 2006 13:06:16 -0400 From: blatzman@aol.com Subject: Fegmania Entertainer Of the Year! And the Cappuccino writes: "I'm sorry if I'm not as entertaining, Brian." Which really begs the question... who is the Feglist Entertainer of the Year? It's so hard to say, isn't it? On one hand I get all the laugh-out-loud references to Eb shitting the bed... On the other I get to watch the Cappuccino pontificate (which I've just come to appreciate as escapist entertainment... much like a summer Popcorn movie... the current argument is along the lines of MI3... lots of potential but not totally realized), and yet on the other I get to listen to some pretty amazing Feg Music... albiet on my own time...

Didn't see the game, but Michael Davies' very entertaining blog http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=davies/index describes the effort in varying degrees of pantsness. (MRG, James, anyone...origin of the phrase, as in "England are pants?"). It didn't take long for the horrible realization to set in that the US has still not developed an improved brand of commentator. Rob Stone and JP Dellacamera?

"A severed foot is the ultimate stocking stuffer." -- Mitch Hedberg "For millions of years, mankind lived just like the animals. Then something happened which unleashed the power of our imagination. We learned to talk. And we learned to listen. Speech has allowed the communication of ideas, enabling human beings to work together. To build the impossible. Mankind's greatest achievements have come about by talking. And it's greatest failures by NOT talking. It doesn't have to be like this! Our greatest hopes could become reality in the future.

It hasn't shrunk, has it? I wonder if that's an older song. As most of us probably know, a lot of tracks on ONoffON were written as many as twenty years earlier: some appeared on quasi-official Burma releases and various projects of the individual members. I don't remember running into the Nancy Reagan track (or any of the other ones - at least, not off the top fo my head) but maybe it's been in the can for a while. - -- ...Jeff Norman The Architectural Dance Society http://spanghew.blogspot.com ------------------------------ End of fegmaniax-digest V15 #135 ********************************
