And if you _are_ quoting, it would be nice if the quote is accurate and
in context. Gary's quotation seems to be from the King James Version,
but not with the original punctuation. This version seems to imply that
the cursing and bitterness leads to feet shedding blood, etc.
(foul-mouthed kick-boxers, perhaps?). But the actual King James and a
couple other translations I looked at on the web seem to be saying that
Jews and Greeks alike (with no mention of f**ing Limey players of the
f**ing clarinet) are guilty of a whole list of sins, cursing and bloody
feet among them. In fact the clauses seem to be quotations from
different old testament sources. Disclaimer: This is scriptural
interpretation from a heathen who has NOT run out and studied Greek and
Aramaic so that he could get more out of current cinematic offerings. =20
