It's rather unfortunate that those killed in combat have to be flown in under a blanket of secrecy and have their sacrifice to freedom and honour ignored to prevent any question of Bush's actions.

No problems at all Darlin'.... matter of fact I feel perfectly comfortable speaking my mind directly to them. I'd spend more time pointing out their positive points... but they seem to have that down pat all by themselves. Texans are a hoot.... ask anyone in the middle east right now. :-) BTW - Huston was the only place anyone tried to rob me. It was a stand off - he pointed to the pistol in under his shirt stuffed in his belt and I drew my 2 1/2 ft Machete partly from it's scabbard in my girl friend's knapsack. I bet him I could cut his hand off before he cleared the gun. He took off when my girl friend hailed a passing cop car. Texas... the only place you can bring a knife to a gun fight and win. ....and what the heck was with those swarms of green grasshoppers all over the city.??? CM |

The war on drugs in the US is a joke. It's unwinable the way it's
being waged.

It's not supposed to be 'won'. It is a big, big money maker.

"Scott Vernon" wrote: "Lady Pilot" wrote The war on drugs is a serious one here in the US. A serious sham. Very true! More people have been killed in the so called ''war on drugs'', than in the Iraq war. Who started the WoD? Not to mention the billions of dollars that has been spent on aircraft, personel, etc. Now if they would have took that money and opened up free rehab centers, we wouldn't be talking about this today. (The Law of Supply and Demand). I've heard that if one wants rehab, they have to have thousand of dollars and be put on a year long waiting list. I can't remember who started the WoD, maybe we can ask Gayanzy, after all, he's edjumacated. ;-) LP |

I guess that's true for the war on Iraq also. Certainly it's true for the
war on bin Laden. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com "Scott Vernon" wrote in message ... It's not supposed to be 'won'. It is a big, big money maker. "Jonathan Ganz" wrote in message ...

DSK wrote There are a bunch of references to the 21-gun salute being due to the sum of the digits 1776, I can see where Bart got this info. However they just don't look quite deeply enough into the matter. For one thing, the 21-gun salute was not standard in the U.S. military until about 50 years later... and none of the other countries using the 21-gun salute have any reason whatever to honor the year 1776.

Calm down, They've just forgotten that they were copying the colonial
powers. One could say that the 21 gun salute came from the multiplication of the two mystical (very important to superstitious sailors) prime numbers : 3 and 7...
