OT / Solving Three Problems That The US Has
I think we could solve three problems the US has very
easily...
1. Dig a Mote about 75 yards wide, the entire length of the
border between the US and Mexico.
2. Take the dirt that we dug up and send it to New Orleans
and build up the levees.
3. Take the problem Gators from the Florida Keys and put
them in the Mote on the border.
No More Border Crossing !!!

The only mote I'm familiar with is the one in the bible. The one in
the context of the beam that we need to remove from our own eye before
worrying too much about the mote in the other person's eye.
You should write a letter to Hillary in the mean time. When she's
president she might appreciate the advice.

Having never read a bible ( they burst into flames when picked up). I
was interested in your definition of mote. So I checked with Marriam-
Webster

no mention of the bible there. so i am still at a loss as to what you
mean. maybe you could explain it a little better, possibly in modern
english.

A bit of searching found this: http://scriptures.lds.org/en/matt/7/3-5#3
If bibles burst into flame when you pick them up, I imagine you may
crash this server when you hit it.
I have no idea why I posted that in the first place. I think I was
trying to make fun of Key saying "mote" instead of "moat." No offense
meant, Key.

Let me share something that might make me unwelcome at any and all
future IRLs: I like Bill Clinton. However being Canadian I don't have
to live with him or his wife to the degree that you do.
