This article states that African history is neglected, and also ASSUMES that if African's were white, it would not be neglected? It also seems to laugh at the notion that anything of relevance that contributed to the advancement of our early civilization came from any non-Afrikans? Did I understand this correctly? And you see no problems with this? How is this "Science"? Isn't this article based mainly in presumptions and possibilities? I would agree that contributions from non-white societies are often overlooked, especially by cultures that are predominantly run by white conservatives, but, boy oh boy, I don't think this article "puts" anything well at all. It's just opinion, and in my own, not even well thought-out opinion. Sorry for what I think. [This message was edited Fri May 9 23:11:38 PDT 2003 by savoirfaire] You are confused. All humans derived from these Afrikans, so "Non-Afrikan" is a misnomer and you get worse from there, go read a book. No, I am not confused, but I would appreciate it if you could enlighten me as to what this "book" thing is you speak of. How would you like to classify the people that aren't the Afrikans that this article speaks of? However you choose to is fine. A rose by any other name... where did that come from? Must have read it on the internet, or perhaps a magazine. Your statement that all humans are derived from these Afrikans, I think, makes even fuzzier this opinionated article, because it asks who he is talking about then. Please explain this for us illiterate folks, and feel free to point out my other "mistakes". I'm not arguing, but I do like to see where my logical reasoning breaks apart, so that I can improve it. I don't think Mr. Person-Lynn, Ph D. is as much a fan of this as I am though. cheers. PS. You post a lot, and for the most part I like what you say. You usually seem to be well thought-out and eloquent. This is a big reason why I'm surprised you and I don't see eye to eye here. This is why I responded as such, as I cannot see what you apparently can. [This message was edited Sat May 10 18:35:19 PDT 2003 by savoirfaire]

I was 10 or 12 and a girlfriend of mine and I discovered the joys of what are still my favorite sex toys: hands. | |

13 officially. one day i will share the unofficial story. Girl. School bathroom. Popsicle. Nuff said.
Official; Junior High during a teacher school strike. Got more privacy there then say at home. Least Memorable blow. It was fun until I shot. Girl spat it all over my shoes. Nike's slogan was "just do it" and I did and I had the only shoes that smelled like it for the rest of the day. Pretty beautiful story eh?

Boy now I'm embarrassed. I must have gotten my posts confused. If you will please excuse me, I will go hide in a cave and never come up. Please excuse me.
