Did Twain know Marx? Groucho that is! Groucho's more famous, "I never wanted to be a member of a club or group that would have me as a member."

Hello -- Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown
Acknowledged, but this is a more complex time. We can no longer tolerate the degenerate, or afford this quote's assertion. We must advance the consciousness of the whole race. With the introduction of nuclear weaponry we are surely required to reach a universal agreement to eradicate these devices. The eradication process is going to require everyone to rejenerate and become a people. People never want to "prove people wrong," only the degenerated desire this wish. The rejenerated person understands that people are always appropriately correct, and definitely desire to prove people correct. -- Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown 1
