Thanks for the link Hijinx. I made sure I had hardcopies of all my records and have copies in a safe deposit box and my DD214 registered with the County.

To acknowledge complicity on the part of church leaders runs the risk of calling into question Brigham Young's divinity and the Mormon belief that they are God's chosen people. "If good Mormons committed the massacre," wrote a Mormon writer, Levi Peterson, "if prayerful leaders ordered it, if apostles and a prophet knew about it and later sacrificed John D. Lee, then the sainthood of even the modern church seems tainted."

Oh, dear, calling into question Brigham Young's divinity.

God's chosen people should be able to shoot anybody in the head.

What is additionally pathetic is the agency of Stuart Udall to "clear the name" of John D. Lee.

The son of this jackass, Tom Udall, is the congressman for this the Third District of New Mexico, famous for the Chimayo heroin overdose death rate making number one on the charts.

We note with some irony the presence of the names Hatch and Hinckley in the account.

Homicidal jihadists to the contrary notwithstanding, Utah does offer a feature of interest:

LOL, Phil, LOL!!

I enjoy waking up to your posts, seriousness with that always humorous twist.

Thank you.

I guess it could be worse, someone else could be controlling the vertical and the horizontal at the outer limits.

Had to sign off last night before seeing the rest of the thread.
Ugh.

I'm afeared it is so.
I think it was one of those, "You THOUGHT? Who said you can think!?" deals.
I'm not sure anymore, I never found out why she said it in the first place.

Getting back to that, Doug Miller.
Friend of my wife's family (and other friends of theirs).
Correction on my statement, he lived in Port Jervis.
But I know of him from Matamoras and Milford PA, but never met him myself.
(I stay away from the in-laws and their friends by habit.)

Good Morning PhilDragoo.

A religious fanatic is a relgious fanatic is a religious fanantic. I never understood the "convert or die" mentality of any religion.
