Re: Christic Bashing
Re: Galileo--- history repeats itself [Christic Institute]
Heh. I am still waiting for the Christic Institute to find a correlation
between Galileo and the San Francisco earthquake.
I can hear it now, "We believe that the tons of plutonium aboard ATlantis,
has caused an upheaval in the atmosphere which traveled all the way to
the San Andreas fault thereby causing an environmental impact so horrendous
that it caused an earthquake. For this, we are sueing NASA for the
devastation and ask for an injunction to stop the forward motion of
Galileo, and are demanding that NASA send someone out there to get it back."

You, sir, are sick. I remember what I felt like that day. I would not
wish that feeling upon my worst enemy. Your statements are the most
vile things I have heard in years.
