So rich Catholics practice birth control and abortion ?

> tough call, I tend to agree with you,
but if he voted for Kerry, just to not vote
for bush, and Kerry turned out to be the 
most evil monster we've ever had, how
would he feel? I think you have to believe
in the choice you make, and then vote. Drew

What I perceive you to be saying is

"better the devil you know than ..." 

to find out whether or not the devil you 
don't know *is*.

Since the devil we know has *proved*
what *it* is - I fail to see your point.

Divert from the home manufacturing business series momentarily---to
housebuilding, preferably small ones.




http://www.wauu.de/Arts/Architecture/Minimum_Cost_Housing/ (houses are
too damn big to economically build and maintain, to say nothing of
taxes---make tiny houses act and feel like big ones by opening up
angles, vistas, getting rid of interior partitions and those cursed
second stories, basements with their space-robbing staircases, and
occupant-killing hot, poisonous gases if a fire starts. Make any and all
houses wheelchair-accessile---you may be in a sheelchare next week and
for the rest of your life. Use large,insulated-pane windows (think
French Doors) both to contain heat and provide ventilation---and don't
forget a tall window will only throw light inside twenty feet---beyone
that you should think about transparent roof panels and piping light
inside with fiber optics or cylinders containing reflective mirrors)
