I got back from internext and this is what I found in my mail! Its so right on! Not sure if you have seen it already and sorry if you have but I really wanted to share it!
I had such a great time at Internext but never got to really hang out with everyone I was making so many great contacts, Gary-Allen and I just kept walking by each other.Though my favorite part was finally meeting Bec and Che they are so awesome!!
Hope to spend time with more people in Vegas.

On her radio show recently, Dr Laura
Schlesinger said that, as an observant Orthodox Jew, homosexuality is
an abomination according to Leviticus 18:22, and cannot be
condoned under any circumstance. The
following response is an open letter to Dr. Laura, penned by a US
resident, which was posted on the Internet. It's funny, as well
as informative.
Dear Dr. Laura,
Thank you for doing so much to
educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from
your show, and try to share that knowledge with as many people as I
can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for
example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it
to be an abomination. End of debate. I do need some advice from you,
however, regarding some other elements of God's Law and how to
follow them.
1. When I burn a bull on the altar as
a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord - Lev.1:9.
The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing
to him. Should I smite them?
2. I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7.
In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?
3. Lev. 25:44 states that I may
indeed possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are
purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this
applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't
I own Canadians?
4. I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2.
The passage clearly states he should be put to death.
Am I morally obligated to kill him myself?
5. A friend of mine feels that even
though eating shellfish is an abomination - Lev. 11:10, it is a lesser
abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this?
Are there 'degrees' of abomination?
6. Lev. 21:20 states that I may not
approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to
admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or
is there some wiggle room here?
7. Most of my male friends get their
hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though
this is expressly forbidden by Lev.19:27. How should they die?
8. I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean,
but may I still play football if I wear gloves?
9. My uncle has a farm. He violates
Lev. 19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does
his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread
(cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot.
Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the
whole town together to stone them? - Lev.24:10-16. Couldn't we just
burn them to death at a private family affair like we do with people
who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)
I know you have studied these things
extensively and thus enjoy considerable expertise in such matters, so
I am confident you can help. Thank you again for reminding us that
God's word is eternal and unchanging.
Your adoring fan,
James M. Kauffman
Ed.D. Professor Emeritus
