In the Way of Old Ranting
One of the most fun things I have found in a long time is the Google search for ancient Usenet postings and otherwise naughty things. I have found many thus ancient posts of mine, in which I can snicker and snerk at some of the things that I've said in older days. Enjoy

Do you think that it can be possible to have a discussion about issues
instead of trying to characterize other people's concerns as "silliness"?

Yepper, that's right! I never THOUGHT of THAT! America, love it or
leave it, but certainly don't try to change it for the better!

Cancer is a great cure for nicotine withdrawl. I, however, object to
your taking ME with you.
>Sweet Jesus, how can people be so dense?!
Hey, if you don't like me puking on your food, just go to a different
restaurant! Sweet Jesus, how can people be so dense?!
Stop and THINK for a minute, ash tray breath! Your habit STINKS. AND, it
HARMS other people around you. And your response is "go to another
restaurant" and then think *I* am dense?
Are you sure you weren't having a nicotine fit when you wrote this?
