Calvin: "The world is a complicated place, Hobbes."
Hobbes: "Whenever it seems that way, I take a nap in a tree and
wait for dinner."

Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere
in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us. --Calvin
----
Companionship, partnership, mutual reassurance, someone to laugh with
and grieve with, loyalty that accepts foibles, someone to touch, someone
to hold your hand -- these things are "marriage," and sex is but the
icing on the cake. (Lazarus Long)

Thomas claimed his opponents were using his race to deny him a seat
as the nation's 106th Supreme Court justice.
He said they were using ``racist, bigoted stereotypes ... that are
impossible to wash off,'' noting that lynchings of black men in the
1800s and early 1900s ``invariably'' had to do with sex.
While Thomas did not go further, some blacks were known to have been
lynched in the South for having a sexual relationship with white women.
Thomas, 43, is married to Virginia Lamp Thomas, who is white. She has
been seated behind him throughout his testimony.
``I cannot shake off these accusations because they play to the worst
stereotypes we have about black men in this country,'' Thomas said.

``The White House's instruction to Clarence Thomas to use racially
heightened words shifted the momentum back,'' said Nan Aron, executive
director of the Alliance for Justice. It caused an ``enormous sympathy
vote'' for Thomas. ``People could relate to his victimization.''

"NOT SO CLUMSY OR RANDOM AS A BLASTER"
The present day Marine sword drill consists of little more than a
salute. However, in GDW's Traveller, the space marines of the
distant future are trained to use their cutlasses in combat.
from Murphy's Rules

therese (Therese):
Why are these women here dancing on their own?
Why is there this sadness in their eyes?
Why are the soldiers here
Their faces fixed like stone?
I can't see what it is that they despise
They're dancing with the missing
They're dancing with the dead
They dance with the invisible ones
Their anguish is unsaid
They're dancing with their fathers
They're dancing with their sons
They're dancing with their husbands
They dance alone. They dance alone.
