Does anyone who likes Vila or Tarrant h/c (or even Travis, not that I can recall much of the c in Travisty-dumping) want to weigh in with another perspective? _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Re: [B7L] spacing prisoners (was Deliverance)

After I wrote: <This is Avon, the one who considered spacing the London prisoners for his own benefit> Marian repled: <To be fair - and if this makes me an Avon apologist then I can live with that :-) - we don't *know* that Avon considered spacing the London prisoners. True to character, he doesn't deny Blake's accusation, but that's no proof that he ever seriously considered it.> True, I should have put an IMO in there, since this *is* my interpretation. *I*MO <g> he thought about the possibility, at least seriously enough to work out about the log book and then work his way through to the inherent problems, but had decided against it, probably fairly quickly (said problems stand out rather largely, but if he'd rejected the idea out of hand his thinking wouldn't have got that far). Blake had also thought about whether Avon would, and had quickly decided that left to himself, Avon *would* decide against it, for the same reasons (as he did). _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Noses...Marian
by Nathan Hook 09 Feb '01

09 Feb '01

Roman noses are straight! they are prominant often, but frequently straight. You're confusing Roman with Jewish noses, which are also prominant, but frequently hooked. Nazi propaganda used caricatures of Jews with exaggerated large hooked noses, demonising Jewish people to great effect. They used it on their own citizens and even on allied troops. Jews have been the target of abuse in Europe for centuries, their features (wealth and frugality) often used to identify them. Does anyone else know what a Roman nose looks like? Nayte.
