>>>>>I sure wasn't. There wasn't much money on my mother's side and none at all on my father's. He was the first one in the entire family tree who became wealthy, and that was through sheer will and hard work. At the time it was still possible to be highly successful in business without a college degree. (I was the first one in the family to go to college). Many of my relatives do live in trailers or ramshackle wooden houses, do work in factories or other blue collar jobs, do watch NASCAR (an uncle and a cousin have both won local stock car races), do shop at Wal-Mart. And they're not dummies. Maine is just a poor state other than right around Portland and the summer homes on the coast. So I take a little offense.

>"I was walking across a bridge one day, and I saw a man standing on the edge, about to jump off. So I ran over and said "Stop! don't do it!" "Why shouldn't I?" he said. I said, "Well, there's so much to live for!" He said, "Like what?" I said, "Well...are you religious or atheist?" He said, "Religious." I said, "Me too! Are you christian or buddhist?" He said, "Christian." I said, "Me too! Are you catholic or protestant?" He said, "Protestant." I said, "Me too! Are you episcopalian or baptist?" He said, "Baptist!" I said,"Wow! Me too! Are you baptist church of god or baptist church of the lord?" He said, "Baptist church of god!" I said, "Me too! Are you original baptist church of god, or are you reformed baptist church of god?" He said,"Reformed Baptist church of god!" I said, "Me too! Are you reformed baptist church of god, reformation of 1879, or reformed baptist church of god, reformation of 1915?" He said, "Reformed baptist church of god, reformation of 1915!" I said, "Die, heretic scum", and pushed him off."

Are you mocking a group of believers?
