Jack nailed it. Again.

Thanks, Tom.

One other thing. I might be more willing to celebrate if I believed that OBL's death meant the end to, or even a significant dent in, the terrorism campaign. I am of the opinion that, regrettably, little has changed. Hope I'm wrong. However, even believing in advance that no significant change would result, I still feel his removal was necessary and justifiable,

Yup. Agree with you there.

What? That's it? No birthday wishes?

Just for fun, since the topic of Hell comes up a lot here and it is a biblical subject, here's my translation of what it is after years of study.

Hell is not a current place where anybody goes. There is no such thing as a soul that leaves the body upon death. The word soul in the bible is the Greek word pneumatic (or similar) meaning air, or breath. Upon the next return of Christ, he will gather up His people, alive and those that had died. His glorified presence and the presence of His Father, who returns with him destroys everything else, so nothing is left on the earth. Even the atmosphere is removed. Then 1000 years goes by, and the city built in heaven that contains all of His people is transported to earth, that is made inhabitable again. All of the people who ever lived are resurrected and are not His are presented with what they have missed out on. The city, btw is huge. I forget the exact size, but it think it is hundreds of miles on each side and is square. After a certain time, when every one has had time to see it and reflect upon their lives, the event that is the actual hell arrives, when everyone outside the city is instantly destroyed and the earth is recreated to it's pristine condition.

I just read all nine pages of these posts. I'm holding each of you responsible for giving me that time back. It's like I'm watching the the Am. Rep. Theater's take on 12 Angry Men, only without the passing subway train.

First, they came for 2 x 6. I was not a piece of wood, so I said nothing.

Then, they came for Cam. I was not a hotrod revolutionary, so I said nothing.

Then they came for Ukiah. It was Special Opps taking him to Gitmo, so we partied!

Tom is in charge of the beer.

Is that really wise?

Ha, not guarding it, but procuring it. Lord knows, if it were up to Ken or Peter we'd be up to our ears in Bud Light.

Not true. Peter has a very astute palate, and Ken enjoys big beers from Belgium and elsewhere.

Thou shalt not slander my beer brethren.

YOU, on the other hand...
