The channel had it's best year ever mostly because of BSG... and BSG is now done. The spinoff looks suckalicious, so far. We'll see.

Oh, they have shown wrestling forever. Not sure how SCI FI that is.

The military is the one power that federal gov't wields that is actually IN the Constitution. And the F22 is one of the few things the gov't buys that actually works. Yeah, better slash that. Maybe they need more money for that "civil defense force" or whatever it was we were talking abou...

Not everyone has a need to go out and witness, though. Some peeps just have a need to trust in something bigger than themselves. That's fine. Doesn't affect me. I read a line in a book the other day, though.... "Never trust a man who prays in public." Interesting thought. Edited By GORDON...
