I have indeed heard of him.  But in the grand scheme of things, 98% or 
so of North Carolinians have never heard of him.

Well TWC/RR has been really REALLY bad for me.  I've had about 75% 
uptime this week.  But usually when it is up and running, it runs very 
well.  Most sites last night were screaming.

Somehow finding a job right now far outweighs backing a candidate.  And 
while I may be registered Libertarian, that doesn't obligate me to 
support all candidates the party throws my way.

The layout can remain consistent while still looking fresh on each 
page.  Instead of the mugshot, why not cycle through a bunch of 
different pictures of Haugh actually doing things, meeting with people 
and such.

I guess it got lost with the other issues.  No priority was given to 
any issue.  I would have expected to see something near the top of the 
list labeled "Terrorism" or "Iraq".

Ah, I can see you got a head start on using drugs before they were 
decriminalized by the Libs (hint: one of them needs to get elected to 
office before they can even vote on the issue).

I am a Christian.  How you draw a line between that and being 
pro-censorship (or even determining that is my "own pet cause") is 
beyond me.

Please, David, step away from the crack pipe.

Your buddy Haugh proclaims on his web site that he is a Christian, too. 
 You never know.  Book burning might be his own pet cause by your logic.

That's a really profound thing of you to say.

I am still very much a Reverend, and very much into ministry.  I never 
got in your face and told you to repent, though with all of the pain in 
your life that might be just the thing you need.  Unfortunately people 
like you jumped to conclusions when they saw "Reverend" in my signature 
so I tried dropping it from the sig.

I really don't miss your pomposity at all, David.

So much for your sincere heartfelt apology you sent to me on May 10 of 
this year.  It was a private message so I won't quote it here.  But 
you've always taken great joy at trying to bust my chops, haven't you?  
And I never did anything to you personally to deserve that, did I?

Whatever the real reason is for all the pain and animosity you are 
carrying around, I really hope you come to terms with your issues and 
can find some happiness in this life.
