Finally some truth...  Being a preacher, I am all to familiar with
con-artist one liners and catchy phrases that look and sound really really
good, but aint got a lick a truth to em.   All they do is entrap people
into thinking something that isn't true.   I don't believe that a catch
phrase an argument makes.

Well, the Schaus was "saved" by a breeding program and MASSIVE NUMBERS
introduction (stocking) into a wild population, wasn't it?  As usual, X is
a terrible idea or thing - unless and until it benefits usens. Thanks Lil.

PS  I have heard that the smartest people are those who are superb liars.
They have to remember every bit of misinformation they put out.   While an
honest person doesn't have to "recall" much - just tell it like it is.
