quoth Kevin O'Gorman:
| The good news is that (last I heard -- I'm not a lawyer), "truth" is
| an affirmative defense for slander in the USA.  This point will
| possibly be lost on Darl, but dep can take some comfort.

problem is, it costs a minimum of $10,000 to get that defense before the 
judge. gives lawyers and plaintiffs something to reminisce about while 
they spend eternity roasting in hell.

The secularists have not wrecked divine things; but the secularists
have wrecked secular things, if that is any comfort to them.
