Post #60,363 by ben_tilly 10/30/02 11:37:53 PM Reply	That fits My reaction to Norm is part and parcel of how I am. I do not believe in forgiveness. I do believe in learning. Until Norm demonstrates that he has learned, you won't hear much of sympathy from me. I also believe in lost causes. They sadden me, but I will not lose sleep over things I can do nothing about. :-( Cheers, Ben "Career politicians are inherently untrustworthy; if it spends its life buzzing around the outhouse, it\ufffds probably a fly." - [link\|http://www.nationalinterest.org/issues/58/Mead.html\|Walter Mead]

I think it depends upon the point of view. - (Brandioch) - Oct. 31, 2002, 12:06:58 PM EST

Inthane is right - we don't necessarily differ by that much - (ben_tilly) - Oct. 30, 2002, 11:49:22 PM EST

Well, that wasn't the point. - (tseliot) - (2) - Oct. 30, 2002, 12:24:46 PM EST
