Thanx for the link's Infidel ... A first I heard of the proposal to gvmnt fund all abortion/ contraceptive's in France too. I have mentioned before that I actually would like to see this in America, I think it is VERY VERY importante in this 21st century, one of the MOST importante issue's to me, and I also wrote my reason's for such ... and I AM "PRO- LIFE" ... being in the sense of course that I love "life". But this kind of thing is importante to alot more countries than especially France, I wont mention name's here, because it may offend some sensitive reader.

Cant say I recall ever seeing a Morman ritual/ service or whatever the name of them are, so I cant tell you if it's authentic, although I would lean toward's thinking it is authentic because of the amount of boredom I felt having to watch it ... I can tell ya about satanic ritual's, because I attended so many, I cant even recall how many ... and frankly they were a Hell of alot more exciting and sensual! I noticed in the beginning seeing a line of Longhorn steer, which made me wonder if it was in Texas or somethin?, maybe it's part of their symbolic's, aesthetic's or somethin?

Later Infidel ....

RC: Yeah, most religious rituals are pretty dull. No one would be interested in watching if it weren't kept so rigidly secret -- sort of like the "banned in Boston" effect.
