- Actually, if you simply wait long enough I will respond. You've
- been around t.a. as long as I have, Galen. You know I can sometimes
- take weeks to respond. Especially when someone else has already

- Uhhh, yeah. You sure do have one humdinger of a dictionary there,
- don't you Galen? I suppose you would see nothing wrong with my
- telling you that my parents were in six plane crashes during

- them that? Or do you think they just might misunderstand?

- And I thought I was just going to scan t.a. and go home... Looks
- like I've got one more followup before I go home. Stand by.

- Do you have me confused with someone else? When have I proposed
- legislating against abortion?
