Hi Daryl!

 DS>   Not to get too "political" or "spiritual" here, but it is also
 DS> taking on a "religious" deal, with Biden wanting to cater to
 DS> Islam, and Trump (and the Christians) wanting no part of it.
 BM> As I recall Obama did that too.
 DS>   If you look at which President was friendly to Israel, it was
 DS> Truman who made the US the first country to recognize Israel's
 DS> right to exist back in 1948. During the Yom Kippur War in 1972 (I
 DS> think), Nixon (while apparently not overly fond of the Jews) did
 DS> authorize an airlift there. But, Trump has done more for Israel
 DS> than any other president that I can recall. Some Bible Prophecy
 DS> commentators have said that "the last trump" means that "Trump
 DS> will be the last President before the bottom falls out". In
 DS> watching the news clips or reading the stories of the rioting,
 DS> etc., I have to wonder.

It is interesting to see and try to figure out how the predictions are 
being analyzed.


 DS>   Some may feel that if you use a dark theme on your web browser,
 DS> or the dark Facebook theme, you support BLM.

 DS>   But, I've always preferred the dark theme, as it was much
 DS> easier on the eyes...and this was long before BLM became part of
 DS> the news. If my eyes start burning (not because of a f@r+ <G>),
 DS> then it's time to get away from the computer or TV for awhile. I
 DS> use Systane eye drops for dry eye syndrome...which is especially
 DS> bad if you're needing to drive...you obviously can't drive with
 DS> your eyes closed.

Well, one could, just usually leads to bad results!  As for 'black' or 
'white' themes. for me it "sorta depends".  While BBSing my read mode is
a medium blue background and I think black text.  Reply mode is black
background with a light-light gray text.  The XP terminal screen is also
light gray on black -- maybe default, I don't recall it's been so long 
since I fiddled with that.  On the Linux side I use a darker destop  background;
writing (LibreOffice) it's paper white background and black
text.  The Terminal window had a dark black background -- it isn't as
black as Windows'.  OTOH Xmessage is a light gray background with black 
text.


 DS>   I may have mentioned this in another area or message...but a
 DS> female in California took the expression "P!$$ 0N +H!$" to the
 DS> max in a Verizon store, after being told she had to wear a
 DS> max...she dropped her pants and panties, and proceeded to urinate
 DS> on the floor. The police were on the way already, and she was
 DS> arrested...then, it was discovered she had a bunch of stolen
 DS> items in her car.
 BM> There are better ways to protest.  And sounds like she wasn't too
 BM> bright in the first place.
 DS>   Not sure if she was blonde or not. But, as you said, there are
 DS> better ways to protest and disagree. At least she didn't defecate
 DS> on the carpet.

Her piano already did!


 DS>   That's all that matters. But, you need to be kind to
 DS> dentists...they have fillings, too. <G>
 BM> Hopefully they didn't do their own!
 DS>   Sort of like with using the Taser as a police officer. You have
 DS> to be "tasered" first. It is extremely painful, and locks your
 DS> muscles where you can't move for 5 minutes.

We watch some of the 'cop shows' and some of the requests/orders appear 
to be impossible: "GIMME YOUR HAND!!"  Well the guy's hand is under his 
body, there are three officers on top -- can't move much less present 
the hand....  (And to be somewhat fair some just plain don't attempt to comply.)


 DS>   Thank you. Tagline thievery is both an art and science. <G>
 BM> As well as a touch of humour/sarcasm.
 DS>   Nancy Backus could teach you and me a few things. <G>
 BM> I wonder where she is?  She did say she had been unusually busy.
 DS>   It does seem she isn't REP-lying very QWK-ly. <G>

Just for that you're required to use a 1200 baud modem for the rest of 
the week.
