Guest guest Posted November 1, 2000 Report Share Posted November 1, 2000 THE CANDIDATES Ralph Nader, Al Gore and George W. Bush went to a fitness spa for some fun (if you will believe Ralph Nader ever has fun) and relaxation (if you believe Al Gore ever relaxes). After a stimulating healthy lunch, all three decided to visit the men's room and found a strange-looking gent sitting at the entrance who said, " Welcome to the gentlemen's room. Be sure to check out our newest feature: a mirror which, if you look into it and say something truthful, you will be awarded a wish. Be warned, if you say something false, you will be sucked into the mirror to live in a void of nothingness for eternity! " All three men, being presidential candidates, toy with danger and quickly enter the men's room and find the mirror hanging on the wall. Ralph Nader walked up to it and said, " I think I'm the most truthful of us three " and in an instant he was surrounded by a pile of money, which I suppose he invested in tech stocks. Albert Gore stepped up and said, " I think I'm the most ambitious of us three " and he suddenly found the keys to a brand new Lexus in his hands, which he liked because it looked better than Clinton's car. Excited over the possibility of having his wish come true, George W. Bush looked into the mirror and said, " I think- " , and was promptly sucked into the mirror.

We are all interested in veganism though. > Ralph Nader, Al Gore and George W.

Not so much that the US is great but because the US is an international bully. Perhaps some vegans could develop a sense of humor. My bottom-line point is that unless and until vegans develop a more tolerant and inclusive perspective, veganism will be seen as a deviant behavior maintained only by social deviants. No planet is an island onto itself... One of the first steps toward a more inclusive vision is to maintain a healthy sense of humor. ~Ernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those who do, I might suggest more suitable forums such as Politics-AmeraStyle or American-Voter-2000 or perhaps Politics-Forum > Perhaps some vegans could develop a sense of humor. It must be hard to have a sense of humour about either Bush or Gore becoming the next president. > My bottom-line point is that unless and until vegans develop > a more tolerant and inclusive perspective, veganism will be > seen as a deviant behavior maintained only by social deviants. My bottom-line point is that this is a vegan list and all I ask is that postings be on topic to veganism and I do not feel that this is an unreasonable request. This is not about intolerance, inclusive perspective, or deviant behaviour. Per day I receive in excess of 200 emails and when I join a mailing list about a particular topic of interest to me, I expect it to be on topic with as little noise as possible. I am certain I am not the only one who feels this way. -- Free email services provided by http://www.goodkarmacafe.com Powered by Outblaze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is unfortunate, in my opinion, that such separation exists between some vegans and world community at large. Isolation does not win many converts and creates only a cult-like attitude toward the world which responds in like manner: namely viewing you as a cult. If you can't be open to other vegans, how can you expect the world to honor you. I'll have nothing more to say here. Peace... Ernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2000 Report Share Posted November 3, 2000 I think this whole thing has really gone far enough. It was just a joke, it was funny, get over it! I personally would rather see an off topic post like that, than all the dozens of duplicates I get from Maynard, Lythic, and Citizens Concerns! With all the time I spend deleting those, a joke was a welcome diversion. Kari From homework help to love advice, Experts has your answer.
