PTL

[Frances Morey]

Jon,
Despite my fondness for the "Pass the Librium" version, you are right in
your interpretation, ie. that we have fanatics, too, witness, the "Praise
the Lord NETWORK!" no less. I used to watch Jim and Tammy Faye, aghast at
their shallowness and greed. They were not so much fanatic or religious as
they were eco-terrorists, taking money from the poor and the stupid. Packy's
last name is Gunter, not Gunther, though he might answer to it.
Merry Christmas Eve,
Frances
