This is a copy of an email I recieved a while ago that I came across again today. Thought some of you might enjoy poking some holes in it, or supporting it (as the case may be).
quote: The email contained the name, address and telephone number of a South African Church. I have not been able to establish if they are the actual authors and so have removed them to spare the church concerened should they not be the authors. Admin - If you want me to include the churches name for copy right purposes I will. ------------------Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the Western Spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun. Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-eight million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue-green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea. - Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

There's just too much in there to take apart. If someone spoke to me like that, I'd call the police.
One small point:
quote: Mandela??? I can understand the rest, but what has Mandela got to do with anything? Is he perceived as some sort of infidel idol in SA? PE

That is strange.
It is interesting that every "implied right of .... " is actually a restriction on actions-- very bizarre twist. ------------------
