Herb,

You begged all the hard questions. Where is you proof that Jefferson was an 
honorable man? If that is a TRUTH you want to share, you will need to PROVE 
it. We just cannot take your word for it.

There are many theories that have been proposed over the centuries for how 
the pyramids were built. Not a single one is "proven", but in various times, 
we accept one or another as a more logical explanation. At present the 
theories are that the Ancient Egyptians were more technically advanced than 
previously supposed. I'm sure that finding a PC buried in a sarcophagus 
would go a long way toward that "proof", but we also must remember that the 
"proof" may be staring us in the face and we aren't smart enough to realize 
it.

The lack of proof does not mean something is not true, and the existence of 
proof doe not mean we understand the truth of the proof.

Anne
