The answer by Andy (printed in green Comic Sans type) is yes.

Forget what Andy Ray thinks, what you really want to know is what does MILNE think.

The only gun I've ever seen was in the movies. I'm storing dried pesto humous. I live in Manhattan and am going to LIttle India today to buy toothpaste. I think you rednecks are weird. I had no idea what you meant about NWO until yesterday when I finally GIed that you think the UN is taking over. I had to laugh. Have you ever met a UN bureaurocrat(sp?)?

Actually Mara, rednecks use alot of toothpaste too. It's all that Skoal, Copenhagen, Red Man, you know. We try to take care of our teeth, so we can bite those bullets baby!

Andy Ray,

About your recent posts:

Does GI == increased weapon/ammo ownership?

http://www.greenspun.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg.tcl?msg_id=0018UF

Does GI (or Doomer) == Conservative?

http://www.greenspun.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg.tcl?msg_id=00186Z

Does Doomer == Anti-Government?

http://www.greenspun.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg.tcl?msg_id=0017z8

It appears that you may be collecting information for a book or article, and (among other indicators) your use of the word "doomer" , leads me to believe that it won't be flattering to those who choose to prepare for Y2K. Why might this be? What are your initial assumptions? Do you assume "doomers" are at the fringe of society? Or that people who prepare (insert degree) are "doomers"? What is your premise?

Another alternative explanation for your questions might be that you are merely "trolling"; that is, attempting to spark responses in an effort to promote debate.

Or perhaps you are simply attempting to provoke: that is, to punch a few buttons for the pleasure of garnering heated responses.

Whatever your motivation, your questions actually demonstrate a gross oversimplification of most positions put forward at this forum.

If I were your thesis advisor, I would say:

Go back and do your homework first. Your questions reveal your bias. Ask some truly intelligent and thoughtful questions. Perhaps then your thesis might be worth something when the real answers may become known.

Dear a,

Those are excellent questions! I think I will ask them, though separately at this forum and the debunking forum.

Kudos on good science, and thank you.

Regards,
Andy Ray
