changing conditions. This will prepare him for the Supreme Court's concept
of the US Constitution as a 'living document'." --Joseph Sobran

accidentally or intentionally, or whether it was started by the Davidian's

government through a violent, armed raid, was the initial spark which
started the inferno at Waco." - Scott W. Ostrander
