1. Frogs would now have 5 legs.

Spanish Rice would have been renamed Reddish-Brown Rice.

Dick Cheney would be known as Dick Cheney (the difference is subtle, I grant you).

Politicians would tell the truth approximately 1.3% more often.

Robot Butlers would cater to our every whim, provided we had $2.4 million to spend on our robot butler.

2. "Star Search" never would have happened

And we would be been drinking yogurt beverages in cans.

It's amazing how many lives one person touches.

3. Funny you mention that, Hyp...

I just finished a book by an insider at People's Temple who escaped & survived. The parallels between Jones and Bush are obvious. The threats, the terrorizing his own followers, etc. It's about mind control and theft. Jones was also SUPER politically active before he left California--he sat at the head table w/ Rosalyn Carter at the DNC one year!

Scary stuff.

8. Speaking of Rosalyn Carter

Here she is with John Wayne Gacy

9. A cult is a cult is a cult. And not all cults are religious

You might find this link of interest:

http://www.neopagan.net/ABCDEF.html">The Advanced Bonewits’ Cult Danger Evaluation Frame

It is a way of evaluating the "cult threat" of a group. There are 18 areas of focus. You rank each area on how strongly the group influences members within that area, from 1 (very low influence) to 10 (very high influence.) The higher the total score, the more likely the group is dangerous. The evaluation frame was designed by Isaac Bonewits, one of the leaders of America's neo-pagan movement and the only person to have gotten a college degree in Magick (from UC Berkeley in 1970.)

4. Furthermore:

If Mama Cass had given Karen Carpenter that ham sandwitch, they'd both be alive today.

6. That one is so tired and insulting it's not even funny.

For the record Mama Cass died of congestive heart failure.

5. He Would Have Joined Zoe At "Heaven's Gate"

He'd help serve the refreshments...

7. The Repuke population would plummet

Not that I mind.
