[Lee Storm (God Is The Healing Force]

[Carol]:
| Fortunately, the people who object to these mascots don't seem to have
| read the books or stories they're based on. If they had, they'd
| probably complain that the school should change its name because the
| bad grammar and spelling of Twain's narrators sets a bad example for
| the students!

[Lee]:
Not only that, but with books like "Tom Sawyer" and "Huckleberry Fin,"
you've got racism and stereotype characters (Here come de ACLU or whatever
dat bunch be). :-)

| Carol, thanking Lee for the chuckle and thinking that Lee has the
| psychology of these complainers down pat

[Lee]:
Well, IMHO, people *need* something to act against, as silly as that sounds.
It's something that many people just need to do...they need to find
something to complain about or strike out so that they feel they're doing
something to improve life, the universe and everything.  Like I say, silly!

Oh, well, I have things to do to improve the quality of life, the universe
and everything...I needs be shovelin' my steps! :-)

Peace, and don't forget your towel, and Don't Panic!!!

Lee :-)
