MH>93,
Your msgs are making it to Southern Oregon via Colorado just fine.
I have also noticed a dramatic drop in msg-volume here. Is there
another place I could check for on-line Thelema msgs to read and
learn from? Blessed BE!...Phil

 93 Kevin,
 Perhaps it's the hoopla about the new Surgeon General candidate
 that's prompted me to interrupt your's and Michelle's conversation.
 The idea of anyone wanting to take away my right to safe and legal
 birth control pisses me off.

 I've seen a few things in the news lately related to public
 schools which I've found disturbing.  On ABC evening news last
 Thursday there was a school in Mississippi where a student says
 a prayer over the sound system prior to the school day every
 day.  A (Methodist) family that had moved in from the midwest
 was protesting this and was practically getting ostricized by the
 (Baptist) community.
 Up here in Washington state, one of the public grade schools is
 going to start requiring the kids to wear uniforms, patterned 
 after one of the Catholic school uniforms.  And the (Republican)
 legislature is considering reintroducing paddling back into the
 public schools.
 The tone I'm hearing from the Republicans in govt. is that they
 want to put their brand of Christianity into the laws and frankly
 it's making me nervous.
