I didn't even know that Gibson was Catholic until now. Is he Irish, I was thinking Scottish but maybe I am just thinking of Braveheart.

I usually like his work. This is the first that I am inclined to avoid.

        your 'epithet' is obviously meant for 9/11 conspiracy-believers. But I was just wondering why you hadn't replied to my last Gibson post. No harm done :) (n/t) - Daniel - 3/7/2004 2:35:00 AM
