“Well, since Texas is defined as an area bordered by some imaginary lines, we wouldn’t really have to since comets can’t impact our imaginations (except figuratively).” &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Well comets certainly impact in &amp; on my imagination considerably! ;-)
I think they&#039;re awesome .. ! 8)

But as for the Texass ... Didn&#039;t the rest of you, there in what we in Oz call Yankland, elect him President? ;-)

&lt;i&gt; (This has been lost somewhere de-eep in my email swamp ... literally for months!) &lt;/i&gt;</description>

		<description>&quot;I would invite you to read the Constitution yourself, Joel. It says absolutely nothing about Christianity.&quot;

Right, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, to include NOTHING about the separation of church and state. There are NO laws concerning the separation of church and state. Put into context the reason why the Declaration of Independence was written.

&quot;Hahaha! Sucks for you Texas kids! good luck on college admissions. Thanks you texas for taking a huge chunk of intellectual competition out of the market.&quot;

I had no problem with college admissions.

&quot;Tongue in cheek, but if i was a resident of Texas, I would take my kids and my family and “git outa thar,” maybe to somewhere with more interest in the future of America then how many people believe in their own specific deity.&quot;

Please do and please take the liberal morons with their nasty attitudes with you.

If you have a problem with education, teach it. Better yet get rid of the &quot;no child left behind&quot; law.

&quot;You’ll find us in Austin.&quot; I wouldn&#039;t admit to that, its a direct reflection of the idiocy of this government.

If you don&#039;t like what we do, leave. I will be more than happy to wave good bye as you move to another state or country. Go live with the Canadians.

The original concept for this country was for the states to govern themselves. Our government continues to take that away.

Defaming a president is 1) pointless and 2) usually unfounded. I am tired of reading how Bush did this or that. The president doesn&#039;t just come up with some idea and make it a law. It has to pass through congress. You don&#039;t like the war, fine. Blame congress for funding it. Congress controls this country, not the president, and certainly not you or I.

I disagree with the way evolution is presented. Natural selection perhaps, but the idea that we started from single celled organisms... I really don&#039;t care what you believe, why bash someone else&#039;s belief? Why try and force your belief on other that aren&#039;t receptive. Can you disprove the existence of God?

Finally, if you don&#039;t live in Texas, thank you. If we wanted your opinion we would have asked. Now leave us alone.</description>
