Ron:

Ok, here's a flame. Read Laura's note again and this time try to understand
what was being said, don't just pull out part of it out of context. She
was NOT saying that leper jokes should be banned but dead baby jokes allowed -
she was telling us what she finds funny. There is no more hypocrisy involved
than for someone to say that he/she likes brussels sprouts but hates liver -
it's a matter of taste, and no one decides what their tastes will be (did
you one day sit down and decide what kind of jokes you would like, what your
favorite foods would be, your favorite color, etc.?) Demanding that someone
justify his/her tastes is simply ridiculous.
