Jc:  There is no way I could possibly follow in Marsha's footsteps.
She dances in her own way and hears a rhythm in her ears that is
mysterious to me.  But in my own plodding way, I do coincide now and

Jc:  I didn't mean to mock.  I was sincere.  Even if I'm wrong, its
pragmatically convienient to lump two such similar voices into one
personality.  If you're not dmb, then you are his slave, because you
follow his line slavishly.

Jc:  That's what you always say.  You can't figure out how to engage

insult and bluster and parroting dogma.  It's a shame really.
Something ought to be done about it, but that's not my job.
