Under Quarkers, they said they don't believe in War. There are a million Quarkers in the US. Nixon says he's a Quarker.

Now I hope that the penalties are suitable for the crime.<BR/><BR/>When in Minnesota, I belonged to a softball league for five years. All was fine until the fourth year when trying to be the hero and throwing for home from left field I tore my bicep. The next year fully healed and playing first base, I stood on the safety bag and was stretched out to receive a throw for a close play. I received a knee to the ribs that cracked two of them. The guy later told me he was trying for two! After that, I decided I didn't want to play baseball for "fun" anymore.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13214319366049620074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-1148636436832324862006-05-26T05:40:00.000-04:002006-05-26T05:40:00.000-04:00Sage thanks for the book review!

Ryan S. made an inaccurate comparison as there were over a 100 million that voted in the last election. I guess math isn't their strong suit. The Enron boys I agree, should be stripped of every dime they have.
