Huh? I don't think that "drought" has an "opposite", being as it is a

subjective term, descriptive of the level of rainfall in a given area WRT

the average rainfall of that area. Both drought & hurricane can be

disasters, or not depending on your viewpoint.

You do _have_ a viewpoint, right?

Well, judging by the construction of the word, the opposite of immorality

would be morality.

Are you using "kiddie's first bible dictionary" or some such?

No, both are simplistic words attempting to describe a very complex

subject. But we can always hope that you answer "yes" to both questions,

and manage thereby not to produce offspring.

Ahhh... you've found your copy of Webster's, I see.

Sated? Well, in this country (the USA), generally everyone eats pretty

well, until you hit just about the lowest level of poverty. Of course, I

cannot speak of other countries, not am I able to tell you whether rich

folks food satisfies them more than poor folks food does.

Could you rephrase that in a _coherent_ sentence?

Ahhh... I see your problem now - you're a whiner-for-jeezuz. Expecting

coherence from one of your ilk _is_ really expecting too much. Let's see

what our panel of judges has to say about your performance:

2.4 2.2 2.2 0.6 -4.5 0.3 3.9 0.8

Discounting the highest & lowest, gives you a score of 1.4

That sucks pretty badly - but you _are_ an idiot, so it's only expected.

Thanks for playing! Come back soon (well, actually, you should just leave

permanently - I'd suggest you use a 20-gauge enema to speed you on your

way, but you'd probably think I was crude, so I won't).
