1.  I think this list serve is quite civil and I haven't been offended by any of the comments I've read.  I think I am quite capable of deciding for myself what I want to read or not read.  If I am offended, I feel free to so state.
 
2. I enjoy the exchange of ideas on the listserve including political. I'm probably biased but I've always found people with legal backgrounds to be better than most others at being able to "argue" in a civil manner without taking everything too personally.
 
3. I am very opposed to Bush, the war in Iraq and just about all of his policies.  However, I think Kerry made a very stupid statement and should not try to tell jokes.  I could see why some people would be offended by what he said.  It reflects a certain type of snobbery that I find obnoxious and very unDemocratic.  As one of the late show hosts said, Kerry can lose an election when he's not even running.
 
4.  The poster from the soldiers in "Irak" is a great comeback.  These guys do know how to tell a joke!  I hope they can come home soon.
 
Cheers.

Here we go again.  Why is it that some members know precisely what's permitted 
on the listserv, and feel the need to chastise the "unwashed."  With all due respect 
to the time it takes you to delete a message, isn't that a bit self-righteous?

If this pic doesn't materialize on your screen, or if you're quck to delete it, it's a 
bunch of service men in Iraq -- "HALP US JON CARRY - WE R STUCK HEAR N IRAK."
