    Anyone else hear that the 22nd there is supposed to be another terrorist attack?

    Yep, I bet the Terrorists wanted a 1-2 punch. Knock Americans off balance with the first strike, hit em again for the knock-out blow a short while later. Trust me, the US economy and its people are on a razors edge right now. A tanking stock market, massive layoffs, key parts of the...

    For Ulfwald

    Yep, Face it. Criminals use guns day in and day out to harm the innocent. It is the rare case where the tables get turned. But because of the rareity, it just happens to get bigger headlines.

    Bush with higher approval rating than Clinton?

    My question: Bush was a C- student at Yale, so how was he accepted in to a Harvard MBA with that average? Seriously... Do you think daddy had anything to do with it?

    Bush with higher approval rating than Clinton?

    Eh, Probably about 30 at various times. I like midget fruit trees. If you count decorative shrubs, it goes way higher :) I do volunteer work (actually used to with my wife, I travel too much now), but getting dirty isn't me

    Bush with higher approval rating than Clinton?

    One more thing pertaining to Bush... When he went to Europe last, the expectations were so low that as long as he didn't get us in a war with France, his trip would be hailed a success. But Bush doesn't understand Europe (nor do they him), and he most definitely doesn't understand Russia...

    Bush with higher approval rating than Clinton?

    There have been more trees in the US since the early 70s. No wacko right-wingers need be asked to verify. Point of view, isn't it Tom? There have been more trees since I don't know when, but they aren't the same kind. You can chop down old growth forests (including redwoods) and replace them...

    Still think Bush won the election fairly?

    Regardless of how he won it, he is in. Regretably. Still, there are more asterisks next to his name than probably any president in history with respect to getting elected. This is just another one. I don't think the defections from the Republican party are over yet. I was watching C-span...

    Bush with higher approval rating than Clinton?

    Note: That was PRE failure of campaign finance reform. I watched that on C-span. It was the most devious, diabolical I have ever seen in Congress. I was ashamed, and still ashamed, of them. I wonder how far he dropped after that.

    If someone doesn't practice YOUR religion, are they going to hell?

    Embracing your own insignificance will take you higher than any religion promises to take you. Why Mr Engineer, I am considering to make that my Sig. Very pertinant. Kudos.

    If someone doesn't practice YOUR religion, are they going to hell?

    I think there are only a FEW branches of Chrisitanity that believe that you go to Hell if you do not do specific things (Catholics are one branch). I am Methodist... we do not think that way Dude! You have been brainwashed. Catholicism is the most progressive of the Christ religions. Heck...

    Windows XP is a very courteous operating system.

    Mlip, You are right about Microsoft, and only about 1/3 of those are what we would call coders. Testers, salesman, managers, and of late, lawyers! make up the rest. I had heard the sum of 50 million lines of code in office 2000, but I can only say that is a rumor. Definitely not billions...
