I was born and raised Catholic and I'm not afraid of death. I figure that if there IS a God s/he understands me (which is more than I do myself).

About the Library risks: we could also have a bomb set off (as was done to the Salt Lake City Public Library) or an arsonist (which we had in 1979) or someone fall over one of the speed bumps in the parking lot (as happened about two weeks ago). I think that anyone suing the Library would not be very popular with the citizenry since a judgement against the Library would also be against the City (it's a City building and the area around it is considered a park) and that would mean an increase in property taxes.

And if you want to be unpopular in Idaho, raise taxes!

I won't hunt or shoot with someone I don't know well; I won't drive if I've had more than two drinks; I will ALWAYS were safety/protective equipment when working with power tools, including (ironic, since I now have hearing aids) hearing protection. I gave up motorcycles years ago after a friend had his head erased in an accident, and I gave up smoking my pipe (and tobacco in general) back in 1985. And I can't even back the car out of the garage without fastening my seat belt (I also drive with my lights on the daytime).

I try to give myself every chance I can, but I'll still probably be killed by a burning beer truck driven by a drunken driver smoking pot and not wearing a seat belt.
