Chris,

Hey, absolutely no problem whatsoever. You see, I can make your keyboard do what I want remotely. <g>

I don't know why you can't get to the article. I doubt you have a content filter... <g>



>I apologize for being unable to get to the link you supplied below, and implying that you were sending me on a wild goose chase. Michelle Cox was kind enough to quote the article, which I am still unable to get to.
>
>>>>>Who is they?
>>>>
>>>>Al Gore. Are you really that out of touch? <g>
>>>
>>>Here in the South, we use the word "they" to mean more than one person. Maybe that is the whole problem with the bygamy issue: some people from Utah have trouble knowing when to use words that indicate more than one. < g >
>>>
>>>>>I have no idea what LDS is. Maybe in Utah it is common knowledge.
>>>>
>>>>Ahh.. Regional stupidity - of which you will shortly accuse me of. Don't we usually call applying one standard to ourselves and a separate one to someone else hypocricy? Nahh..
>>>
>>>Just as you are so far removed from the issues in the South, the acronym LDS is not commonly used here. Let's see if we can figure out why. Oh, that's right, Kentucky does not have a large Mormon population.
>>
>>Right - and that was my point. You get after me for something but do the same thing. Tsk tsk.. Too much moonshine? <g>
>>
>>>
>>>I do no use the term UK when I am speaking with people from out of the state about the University of Kentucky. So rather than say "UK", I say "University of Kentucky". Similarly, I bet there are people in Utah, who when speaking with someone outside the state, are bright enough to realize that LDS may not be a common term to the listener.
>>
>>No problem. I don't mind illuminating but I'm just like everyone else in that I'd prefer someone ask first before they make remarks based on their lack of information.
>>
>>>
>>>When you do stuff like that, like throw around acronyms that are probably common to your area but not others, then call the listener "stupid" for not knowing what you meant, you sound like an idiot. BTW, idiot is a term used here in the South to mean someone who is foolish.
>>
>>Right. I guess I'd just say 'ditto'. <g>
>>
>>>
>>>>LDS stands for "Latter Day Saint", more commonly known as Mormonism. Big deal here.
>>>
>>>"More commonly known as Mormonism". Ah, see how simple that was?
>>
>>Righto - why didn't you ask first before making remarks about 'LSD' then?
>>
>>>
>>>>>How am I calling anyone a liar? Be very careful with what you accuse me of.
>>>>
>>>>All those over the last 130+ years who have asserted that the Civil War was indeed, at its core, an issue over stet's rights and the right to ceceed. Don't misunderstand, slavery drove a lot of it but that's a pretty myopic point of view to hold that it was the prime issue.
>>>
>>>About as myopic as to take my assertion that the primary cause of the Civil War was slavery means that I think those that disagree with me are liars. I don't think those that disagree with me are liars, and for you to even insinuate that is total bullshit.
>>
>>Well, you're entitled to your opinion. Maybe it's a Kentucky thing.. <g>
>>
>>>
>>>Slavery was the prime issue, and it had been building for sometime. From the Nortwest Ordinance to the Missouri Compromise of 1820 to the Nebraska-Kansas Act of 1854, its root cause was slavery. And why did South Carolina want to seceed? Slavery, pure and simple. Without slavery, there is no Civil War.
>>
>>Chris, are you aware that one of the most fundamental forces behind the abolition of slavery was the Great Awakening? The spiritual revival that flooded this nation during the 1820's-1840's? I'll bet you're not. Jonathan Edwards et al?
>>
>>>
>>>>>>Sure there were economic issues and we all agree that slavery should have ended but I'd remind you that we almost didn't have a nation over this issue as well and "The Great Compromise" was the result.
>>>>>>
>>>>>>The Civil War settled the cecession issue for sure but this flag issue IMO only serves to illustrate just how out of touch with reality the so-called victims are. Symbols over substance.
>>>>>
>>>>>No, it shows how out of touch you are with the South. That figures, being that you are making your comments from half way across the country, making comments about a regional issue you know nothing about.
>>>>
>>>>Say.. What was that comment about this area of the country again? <g>
>>>
>>>My comment is that you are not "regionally stupid", just "stupid".
>>
>><g>
>>
>>Heh.. Nothing like elevating a discussion to your own level. <g>
>>
>>>
>>>>>>That's the system remember? <g> We all have the right of redress - and in your case perhaps a pink lame`. <g>
>>>>>
>>>>>I have no idea what that means.
>>>>
>>>>Obvious.
>>>
>>>Anytime you care to explain, feel free.
>>
>>Go get a dictionary.
>>
>>>
>>>>I suppose you read right past the words, "old rating" then or did you just ignore them? <g>
>>>
>>>I just love the extrapolation: 14.25 million to 20 million plus. You and Rush love to play loose with the facts. And when was that, Fall 1999? So, are you arguing that he had a 42% gain in a year and a half?
>>
>>Well, a big part of our profession Chris is being able to think...
>>
>>>
>>>>I followed up with a newer link.
>>>>

>>>>>>Here's another:http://radio.about.com/tvradio/radio/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/000927/ca%5Flimbaug.html

>>>>>
>>>>>Just went there. Yahoo says the page does not exist. Don't you try these things out before you post?
>>>>
>>>>Yes and I just tried it again and it works here. Maybe you need to take remedial browser lessons along with history and geograpy lesson as well. <g>
>>>
>>>Still doesn't work. I am pretty good at cutting and pasting a link into my browser. And yet, it still doesn't work. Just another of your wild goose chases. Amazing how ofter that happens when you make stuff up.
>>
>>Can't help you then. I tried the link again and it worked again for me. *shrug*
>>
>>>
>>>>>Yeah, right. He got out before he was cancelled.
>>>>
>>>>No, he stopped the show. Look, you really need to be able to get past your personal opinions. I have no problem that you cannot tolerate Rush. Regardless, he plainly stated why he stopped the show.
>>>
>>>It's nothing person with Rush. He just has been incapable to telling the truth on a consistent basis:

>>>
>>>http://www.fair.org/media-outlets/limbaugh.html

>>
>>Well, I've been listening to him since he was on one station in Sacramento and while he's surely been wrong at times he's been a lot more accurate than his detractors.
