This might give someone some ideas for use with clay. Interesting for
the use of texture and pattern.
You can ignore the obvious political/environmental/social aspects.
Best,

Yet another of your OT hoaxes, Wayne...

Any idiot can tell you that there couldn't possibly be nine million
American children with no health insurance coverage in 2007.

What do you think this is, a third world country?

Sheesh!

Regards,
Maurice

I think perhaps Maurice was being sarcastic or facetious in his
comment.... i am not sure but i read it differently...

Anne,
in Saint-Sauveur, where the smell of fall is in the air.... and we're
still in August! ...

-Maurice, I disagree with you there. Cost of living has skyrocketed
and the living wages has not kept up with it at all. Living wages is
20-30 years behind times. Federal proverty level for a family of
three is 17,thousand regardless of where they live. Tell me if you
can make a go on that salary living in Long Island and I will eat my
words. Literally living on the beach doesn't count. Kathryn Hughes in

A public apology to Maurice. A clayarter was kind enough to e-mail
offlist that you were saying all of this tongue in cheek. I'm so
sorry. I thought you were serious.I apologize deeply if I've upsetted
you. She told me that you are really a great guy and I believe her. I
need to learn to relax my crack at times and not take life so
seriously. Warmly, Kathryn Hughes in NC --- In

Maurice,

I'm trying to figure out if you're joking here or not, but have to
believe that you're serious given the "tone" of voice in your reply.

As a matter of fact, according to our Census Bureau, "The proportion
and number of uninsured children did not change in 2004, remaining at
11.2 percent or 8.3 million" (Source:
http://www.census.gov/Press-Release/www/releases/archives/income_wealth/005=
647.html)

This was three years ago, so why would it be so hard to believe that
the number hasn't gone up to nine million by now? Why is it so hard to
believe in the first place that we have so many uninsured children in
this country? Do you know how many employers do not provide health
insurance for their workers?

Maurice,

I don't know you, and it is so hard to figure out whether people are
serious or not through this medium of plain text. I apologize for
"ass"uming you were being serious, when I have read that in fact, you
were being sarcastic.
