What beast? The only beast that I know of is human nature, and we are ALL in control of what we say or do unless we are mentally incompetant. Complaining and criticism is a symptom, not a cause. We had best all count our blessings and caste the mote out of our own eye, before trying to caste it out of another's. I still say we should be here to support one another and help in every way we can. Peace to you, my friend. Jo Ann cg Paul 60/5 On Thu, 2 Dec 1999 14:42:26 -0500 "William A.
