As we saw when Mr. Sloan was in office, these people collect into small groups which then allow their leaders to dictate the voting, and one man, with one vote, can do nothing more than observe and complain. In fact, it often happens that the first priority of evil scum is to rid them- selves of irritants like SS. -- help bot |

I want to warn parnets of the dangers that these criminal predators, Paul Troung and Susan Polgar represent to the public's chidlren. I do not care who replaces them, as long as they never return to threaten to kill again. Marcus Robers |

In many postings, you have accused Paul Truong of threatening to kill you, but just above the story changes to Susan Polgar and PT. This serves to undermine the credibility of your stories. Also there is the idea that since you are still alive, either the "threat" was vacuous, or else you perhaps are a hard man to find (or maybe the killers just haven't gotten around to it ....YET). I don't know, but staying alive just seems to be counterproductive for you; if you were dead the story would have a certain fundamental soundness, an irrefutable basis in reality on which to build. Add in the observation that although there are innumerable threats, nobody has as yet stopped the alleged killers by following through on them, and the story lacks oomph. My recommendation is to move on the the next chapter: stop writing about what the hero is *going to do* and write about him actually nailing the villain of the plot. In short: the villain is tried and convicted, his wife betrays him, the hero wins the day -- the usual stuff. You can only keep the air of suspense going for so long, before it becomes stale. -- editor bot |

There is not a single woman in the world that can't be bought. *Who* can't be bought. Using the term "that" for a human being indicates a process of trading of goods (Mr. Sloan probably did not even realize he was doing this). It is comforting to know that whatever monies SS gains from his many lawsuits will be put to good use. This is false. The word 'that' in a restrictive clause can be used equally for people or things so doesn't imply anything. I myself generally use it instead of 'who' in those situations. But maybe you were just being sarcastic to intsult Sloan? Andrew Usher |

Like the one constructed by Mr. Sloan, you have made a boo boo, only yours appears to be leaving out an entire word, whereas he merely revealed an appalling attitude toward women /as goods/. I myself Redundant; who else could "I" refer to /but/ yourself? ;D generally use it instead of 'who' in those situations. I hope you do not encounter /those situations/ very often. But maybe you were just being sarcastic to intsult Sloan? No, I was being observant of Mr. Sloan. It is much like a Freudian slip, or a case where one of the Evans ratpack reveals his innermost fears by attributing it ("projecting") to a hated critic. In fact, I was not merely observant: very soon after I wrote my observation, it was confirmed by a follow up post by none other than Sam Sloan. -- help bot |

wrote in message ups.com... Phil Don't say anyone can't be bought. I have encounctered tens of millions of dollars in my rather young life at 38, and I learned that EVERYONE has a price, unless they are afraid of going to hell. If Susan can avoid selling her soul, she CAN be bought. Marcus Roberts Marcus, why are we talking about her? Let'$ talk about me and you, and see if you can prove me wrong and you right? Fair enough? Seriously, no one really knows what they will do until they have been tested. Also fair? And sometimes its the case that previous Villains act like Saints when the going gets interesting.
