On a lighter note, bless has a different meaning in french than english.
Never translate God bless america, by Dieu blesse l'amerique
Blesse in french mean Hurt . It would be a terrible mistake, and did not use terrible in english like terrible in french the word means the contrary (but the english version is right, terrible means bad, the french version is bad contemporary talking).
The best thing about that long quote that Samantha etc posted is this: [quote] Almost with anger, she yelled over the phone, "Of course, we believe Pat Robertson instead of the encyclopedia written by liberals." <hr></blockquote>
har-de-har-har . . . . well not actually funny . .. sad
It reminds me so much of what it is like to debate with some folks hereabouts . . . .
