"The free school is the promoter of that intelligence which is to
preserve us as a nation. If we are to have another contest in the near
future of our national existence, I predict that the dividing line will
not be Mason's and Dixon's, but between patriotism and intelligence on
the one side, and superstition, ambition, and ignorance on the other.
... Let us all labor to add all needful guarantees for the more perfect
security of FREE THOUGHT, FREE SPEECH, AND FREE PRESS, pure morals,
unfettered religious sentiments, and of equal rights and privileges to
all men, irrespective of nationality, color, or religion. Encourage free
schools, and resolve that not one dollar of money shall be appropriated
to the support of any sectarian school. Resolve that neither the state
nor nation, or both combined, shall support institutions of learning
other than those sufficient to afford every child growing up in the land
the opportunity of a good common school education, unmixed with
sectarian, Pagan, or Atheistical tenets. Leave the matter of religion to
the family altar, the church, and the private schools, supported
entirely by private contributions. Keep the Church and the State forever
Separate.

I have posted with this sig at various times for over two years in about
4-5 ng's. The only time that this sig was previously mentioned was to
remark that Grant made a decent speech yada,yada,yada.

This is the first that anyone has ever complained about it, or any other
sig, for being too long. So please killfile me all you want. If you're
so close-minded that something so insignificant as a sig sets you off
then I won't mind not being part of your usenet world.

To those who actually answered my original question I thank you.

I usually change every month or so. Now, I'll use it until I find a
quote I like better. Thomas Jefferson has several quotes that I like and
often use. He and Grant are two of my favorite Presidents regardless of
the personal and political shortcomings of either and/or both men. I
just can't get over the fact that people have so little joy in their
lives that they have to seize upon the least little thing like a sig to
harp on. Try volunteering in Louisiana for a couple of weeks to gain a
little perspective.

Umm...

I guess I started this, but I wasn't harping.  What I stated was factual; I
actually counted the lines of your sig to come up with the numbers I posted.
Why I commented was because you have by far the longest sig I've ever seen.
You're free to put it up all you want to; It's your business.  I suppose you
could use a Grisham novel as a sig if you want, but you can't complain if
others plonk you over bandwidth (or other)  issues.

Also, if you're going to post a sig as long as my arm, I have every right to
comment about it, especially if the sig is 180 out of phase with the topic.
By the way, from what I read, the reason that others plonked you is that you
threw a hissy fit about our comments.  The first amendment goes both ways.
If you can put up a political speech as a sig, and make us all download it
to read your 5 or 6 on topic words, we can comment about it.  It's no big
deal...

By the way, I didn't even read your sig.  It's probably a beautiful piece of
writing.

David F. Mishiwiec Sr. - 05 Apr 2006 21:21 GMT
OK. First it's not writing. If you had read it, or my replies for that
matter, you would have noticed at some point that the sig I am currently
using is a speech given by them President Ulysses Grant in Des Moines,
IA on 9/30/1875 before the Society of the Army of the Tennessee.

I post it in its entirety so people can see his position and keeping
sectarian schools separate from Public schools in funding from
government coffers. I would offer more insight as to why Grant felt this
way but I wouldn't want to drone on this off-topis issue any more than I
have already.

As for bandwidth, the sig in question is an attached text file that is
1.55 kb is size. Now I know that most Internet users still use dailup
service but even the slowest amongst those poor souls should be able to
download that in less than a second with a 28800 Bps connection and in
one second with a 14400 Bps connection.

As for perspective, I am a disaster relief services volunteer for the
Red Cross. I spent almost 3 weeks in Louisiana and Mississippi last
November and they want me to go back again but circumstances don't allow
me the privilege of serving those Americans most affected by Katrina and
Rita.

When you see people thankful just to be alive and thanking you for
driving a response vehicle to a designated distribution point to hand
out food and basic hygienic supplies you start to see the little
problems in your day-to-day living a bit differently.

So if the size of my sig offends you and anyone else please accept my
heartfelt apologies. However, Grant did a marvelous job of summarizing
my feeling on why religious schools should not now nor ever receive any
subsidies from the federal government. I myself and Roman Catholic and
my children did attend a Catholic school but that should not have been
funded by anyone other than myself and my wife.

Good night and good luck.

1.  I am aware that it was a speech.  In its present form, however, it's
writing.
2.  NO ONE comes to alt.trucks.ford for political commentary.
3.  I'm sorry that we haven't been as "thankful" for your political diatribe
as you expected, and that we have expressed less gratefulness to you for
your sig than the folks in Louisiana have shown for your help.
4.  I have never seen your sig as a "problem" in my "everyday life."  It
appears that YOU are the one who has a problem with people commenting about
your bloated, off-topic sig.  And I thought you had a newfound
perspective...
5.  Why in the world do you need to:
   a.    Trumpet your political beliefs in a car group?
   b.    Bring up your humanitarian efforts in this thread?  Both of these
taken together make you look self-agrandizing.  First, you are so smuggly
proud of your political beliefs that you have to trumpet them to everyone,
no matter that you're rudely changing the topic to do so.  Then, when
someone points out your self-serving behavior, you smuggly trumpet your
humanitarian work as a defense.  It's like saying no one else has a right to
an opinion about your sig because you're a better human being than the rest
of us.

Give me a break!

Contact your dealer and ask?  Questions should be free.  Also your
