wouldn't that rule out buying any petroleum products from USA or UK

or is "Shock and Awe" in some way different from terrorism?

yes. shock and awe requires massive numbers of troops and equipment.
terrorism requires one guy with a bomb strapped to his tummy.

shock and awe can be seen coming for weeks by the victims before it
strikes. while terrorism cant be seen by the victims till the bomb
blows them up into little giblets, like in Quake III.

I think maybe Capt. JG aka Jonathan Ganz has made a mental midget outta himself.
Read these posts he made way back in 1992 about how he's taken just about every illegal
drug known to man and how he took a kazillion milligrams of LSD because his friend
screwed up and made it way too strong. No wonder the dude's wacked!

hey I've always said everyone should trip on LSD at least once in their
life just to experience that there's so much more to life than what
appears normal. I also strongly support legalisation of cannabis.
the drug issue is certainly a tricky one, the above two are relatively
harmless and not addictive, but smack/crack etc is and causes a ****load
of crime so I'd also suggest legalisation of those so that addicts don't
need to steal to get what they need. I reckon crime would drop by a huge
percentage.

as for ganz, I have no idea why he has such control-freak issues that he
netKKKops so frivolously. perhaps it makes him feel like a big man
online when he gets an innocent usenet user TOSed and it compensates for
his own inadequacies?
