Post #195,053 by ben_tilly 2/16/05 6:59:50 PM Reply	Another amusing point about the charter Canada is (unlike the USA) explicitly founded on principles that recognize the supremacy of God, but grants freedom of religion. In the USA state non-interference in religion is an absolute. As someone who does not believe that God exists, which do you think I prefer reading? Cheers, Ben I have come to believe that idealism without discipline is a quick road to disaster, while discipline without idealism is pointless. -- Aaron Ward (my brother)

Post #195,359 by jake123 2/18/05 9:34:59 AM Reply	Floaters are arbitrary when you have infinite bit length. Esp. when they're making fashion decisions. They really ARE arbitrary then. --\n-------------------------------------------------------------------\n* Jack Troughton jake at consultron.ca \n [link\|http://consultron.ca\|http://consultron.ca] [link\|irc://irc.ecomstation.ca\|irc://irc.ecomstation.ca] \n Kingston Ontario Canada [link\|news://news.consultron.ca\|news://news.consultron.ca] *\n-------------------------------------------------------------------
