        Of course!  I still had my 7 45-minute-period glasses on (cuz I still 
have 2 more weeks to suffer through), so, yes, they do rule the high school 
world.  BUT, I had a strange feeling a couple weeks ago as I witnessed 
pussy-ass-jock debauchery at a local lacrosse game that the people in the 
stands, the rulers of the high school world, would be the leaders of the 
world of my generation.  Of course, it was only a strange impression, but 
Meursault had the "odd impression" that the people at his mother's funeral 
were judging him; they, of course, were.  (ramble, ramble, ramble)  I 
sincerely DO hope that pussy-ass jocks end up on couches instead of board 
rooms and political offices.  And I completely agree with your last sentence.

>  Just a thought!

"Just a thought."  There are these radio commercials on HFS here in Baltimore 
that are ads for some church (!), in which a preacher lauds the advantages 
loving Jesus can give, i.e. giving you a nice crutch, a secure feeling and 
belief in another world instead of fearing death (no joke!).  They always 
conclude with "Not a sermon, just a thought," when of course it IS just a 
synopsis of a sermon.  Grr.
