<DIV>Nick,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It was a JOKE, Nick. A JOKE. A play on words? You know, a
reference to premature eja..... well, you know.</DIV>
<DIV>Don't know if my tongue was a little too far into my cheek on that one, or
if your a little slow on the uptake.... time will tell.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>You do tend rather heavily toward condescension, Dear Professor. Too
many years in the classroom where your every edict was law, I suppose.
Yes, I have been civil toward you Nick, but you have chosen to reciprocate with
sarcasm and a feigned superiority. There really is nothing worse than an
intellectual snob...</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As for abortion, I hope you don't mind if I rely on some other sources than
yourself? To say that this practice should continue because it has been
tolerated in the past is logically bankrupt. After all, our moral,
religious and legal tradition upheld slavery and the subjugation of woman until
all too recently. Sounds like your prone to an occasional misfire
yourself, Professor.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As far as the nature of the human soul and consciousness is concerned, I
said that someday we will come to a better understanding of these things and
when /how they are encoded. We don't yet have that knowledge. But
then, no doubt you've covered this brilliantly in some past paper. One
doesn't have to be a brain surgeon or even a philosophy professor to grasp that
a fetus is human. If left unmolested, it does not grow into a microwave
oven. It does not emerge from the womb as a chest of drawers. It
emerges as a human being, Nick. A beautiful, innocent, bright eyed
baby. That is, of course if it is not ripped apart and tossed into a trash
can by the more callous among us...</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Nice try though Professor, it sure SOUNDED impressive.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Locked and loaded, Tony</DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
