We Americans stopped using R-12, by law, years ago. The ozone hole over
ANTARCTICA on the OTHER end of the planet has gotten LARGER because it's
caused by SOLAR ACTIVITY, not humans who are the most insignificant speck
in the astronomical size of everything else.

I bet of we bring back R-12 (and drop the price from $10/12oz back to
68c/16oz) the ozone hole over Antarctica will go on doing exactly whatit
has been doing for a few million years before Americans were invented to
blame it on.....the natural patsies.


Hell, it wasn't the R12 anyway. It was hair spray.

But, and this is my point, if I could figure this out why couldn't the
whole U.S. Government with their mammoth intelligence gathering and

And if they could figure it out then what are they doing there?

And don't talk about "control of the oil" as that is just B.S. The
existing Iraqi oil fields are all produced by joint ventures with
European companies - Italian and French if memory serves.

Too bad Bush never read T E Lawrence's "Seven Pillars of Wisdom". He
might have thought twice, but then again probably not.

“All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty
recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but
the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream
with open eyes, to make it possible.”

It's those damned Americans....every time. They love to be blamed.

Then what are you doing in Iraq?


Sorry the temptation overcame me.


It's a great temptation to lump all Americans with Bu****, so I forgive
you!

I find it ironic.. the "surge" is working by driving the terrorists to
Afganistan. If we had gone after them in that place first... sigh, you're
right it's tempting.


I must have missed something.

Have they found oil in Afghanistan?

I for one am interested in the outcome as historically nobody from
outside has managed to completely conquer and rule that country from
Alexander, the British, to the Russians. If you have ever experienced
the tribal nature of most of its citizens you would understand more
the difficulties. Xenophobia is in the genes.

My sentiments entirely.

Sydneyites seem to equate sophistication with rudeness and a "#$%# (4
lettered word, meaning intercourse, second letter is a vowel and the
last letter is k) you" attitude.

Mebournians and Brisbanites don't seem to be on the same plane.

No Bruce. That is NOT the word. Go wash your mouth out with soap.

The word I intended was 'Aunt"

You have a seweratious mind.

Well, when I stopped there in '66 or so, it went right to the top of

Larry, Larry,

Without Americans, how could anyone ever chant "Yankee go home" (but
leave your money and Coca-Cola).

Be reasonable man! If they weren't blaming you then they might pick on
little old God's own - New Zealand.

Besides, how can you help but be picked on. Look at what your system
raised as a president.

Love those Yanks. Keep 'em coming
