I am getting tired seeing posts that start with "original message" and go on
to quote a previous post. Could we please cut down on this kind of thing?
It just clutters up an already overly busy list.
Thanks,
Sue S.

Good and gracious God, what's happened to the world? The Constitution?
The American Constitution? I'd like to know the justification for that
one, really would. Snow White? I noticed on the list we got from Mave
that only a few titles had justifications alongside them. I'd sure
like to know what's wrong with Snow White? If we're living in a
country that has prevented its people from reading its own
constitution, then may those who banned it suffer the consequences of
voter incompetence and voter apathy. May they all be taxed till they
squeak! And may their lives be made a legal misery for their pride and
their arrogance!
"We, the people of The United States, in order to form a more perfect
union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquillity, provide for the
common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings
of liberty to ourselves and to our posterity, do ordain and establish
this Constitution of The United States of America."
I wrote that all from memory, folks, only fudged one phrase. I
couldn't graduate from seventh grade unless I knew that Pramble by
heart. That's right, I couldn't graduate unless I'd recited that
letter perfect in front of everyone! Oh, this gets worse and worse!
Well, the literary police will just have to come after me. I have a
copy of the Constitution on one of my 'puters here, probably have two
or three copies on various CD's of etexts, plus a braille copy. I defy
them to find the braille copy. <smirk>
