&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;It's a revolutionary  breakthrough in technology: no wires, no electric circuits, no batteries,  nothing to be connected or switched on. It's so easy to use even a child can  operate it. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Just lift its cover. Compact  and portable, it can be used anywhere --even sitting in an armchair by the  fire--yet it is powerful enough to hold as much information as a CD.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Here's how it works:  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Each BOOK is constructed of  sequentially numbered sheets of paper (recyclable), each capable of holding  thousands of bits of information. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;These pages are locked  together with a custom-fit device called a binder which keeps the sheets in  their correct sequence. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;By using both sides of each  sheet, manufacturers are able to cut costs in half. Each sheet is scanned  optically, registering information directly into your brain. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;A flick of the finger takes  you to the next sheet.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;The BOOK may be taken up at  any time and used by merely opening it. The "browse" feature allows you to move  instantly to any sheet, and move forward or backward as you wish. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Most come with an "index"  feature, which pinpoints the exact location of any selected information for  instant retrieval. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;An optional "BOOKmark"  accessory allows you to open the BOOK to the exact place you left it in a  previous session -- even if the BOOK has been closed. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;BOOKmarks fit universal  design standards; thus a single BOOKmark can be used in BOOKs by various  manufacturers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Portable, durable and  affordable, the BOOK is the entertainment wave of the future, and many new  titles are expected soon, due to the surge in popularity of its programming  tool.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Coming soon, the  Portable Erasable-Nib Cryptic Intercommunication Language  Stylus.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;NON- BEAR Quote of the Day:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;"What the world needs is  more geniuses with humility, there are so few of us left."

His has something to do with the White House while mine has something to do with the White Cave. The mix-up is perfectly understandable. Anyway, I received this recently and thought I would share it. Makes sense to me.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;table  style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 102);font-family:times new roman;" id="INCREDIMAINTABLE" border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" width="100%"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td id="INCREDITEXTREGION"  style="padding: 0px;font-size:12pt;" valign="top" width="100%"&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Dear President Bush,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's law. I have  learned a great deal from you and try to share that knowledge with as many  people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for  example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an  abomination. End of debate. I do need some advice from you, however, regarding  some other elements of God's Laws and how to follow them:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;1. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and female,  provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims  that this applies to Mexicans, but not to Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't  I own Canadians? [Non-Quebec ones though...I don't speak French]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;2. I have a friend who would like to sell his daughter into slavery, as  sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a  fair price for her?  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;3. I know that men are allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her  period of menstrual uncleanliness (Lev. 15:19-24). The problem is, how do you  tell? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;If  you ask, most women take offense.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;4. When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a  pleasing odor for the Lord (Lev. 1:9). The problem is my neighbors. They claim  the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;5. I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2  clearly states that he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill  him myself, or should I ask the police to do it?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;6. A friend of mine feels that, even though eating shellfish is an  abomination (Lev. 11:10), it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't  agree. Can you settle this? Are there "degrees" of abomination?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;7. Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a  defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision  have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle-room here?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;8. Most of my DUDE friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around  their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev. 19:27. How should  they die?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;9. I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me  unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;10. My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev. 19:19 by planting two different  crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two  different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and  blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting  the whole town together to stone them (Lev. 24:10-16)? Couldn't we just burn  them to death at a private family affair, like we do with people who sleep with  their in-laws (Lev. 20:14)?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;I know you have studied these things extensively and thus enjoy considerable  expertise in such matters, so I am confident you can help.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and  unchanging&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Dustybear&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Oops. Okay. Okay. YES I WROTE THIS. Dang. Caught red-pawed. Anyway...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;P S...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Dear GWI&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;I haven't found anything in there about Hooman-Bears....Perhaps YOU  have.&lt;br /&gt;But then, Leviticus is only Book III...I'm sure I'll find SOMETHING in there  somewhere...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Thanks again...Db&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td id="INCREDIFOOTER" width="100%"&gt; &lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"&gt; &lt;tbody&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td width="100%"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td id="INCREDISOUND" align="center" valign="bottom"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td id="INCREDIANIM" align="center" valign="bottom"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3017746113377863193-8015622574166429843?l=dustybearfromthetop.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dustybearfromthetop.blogspot.com/feeds/8015622574166429843/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3017746113377863193&amp;postID=8015622574166429843' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3017746113377863193/posts/default/8015622574166429843'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3017746113377863193/posts/default/8015622574166429843'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dustybearfromthetop.blogspot.com/2007/06/intercepted-letter-to-president.html' title='INTERCEPTED: A LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT'/><author><name>DustyBear</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12813284674967099539</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jItLG7tibgo/SN0VOr6Ri-I/AAAAAAAAAGQ/aANI1JjKLZA/S220/BEARJP~17.GIF'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3017746113377863193.post-7300393577722103143</id><published>2007-06-12T21:53:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-06-12T21:56:30.593-07:00</updated><title type='text'>BY THE WAY...</title><content type='html'>JUNE IS PRIDE MONTH.
