Kind of intimidating.

Some nice pics of the approach here: [link\|http://www.wvfc.org/events/mackinac/imagepages/image15.htm\|http://www.wvfc.org/...pages/image15.htm] "Whenever you find you are on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect" --Mark Twain "The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them." --Albert Einstein "This is still a dangerous world.

When I was looking at them I couldn't help thinking of Avalon on Santa Catalina... bcnu, Mikem It would seem, therefore, that the three human impulses embodied in religion are fear, conceit, and hatred. The purpose of religion, one might say, is to give an air of respectibility to these passions. -- Bertrand Russell Edited by mmoffitt June 16, 2005, 03:21:59 PM EDT Expand All History
