"Doug Kanter" wrote in message ... "Calif Bill" wrote in message ink.net... We have a cure for the energy problem. NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS! But the enviro's got the building of same, outlawed. No knee-jerk reactions, OK? Forget Yucca Mountain. As it stands now, we are unable to control nuclear waste. I did not say "dispose of". I said "CONTROL", meaning assure that is secured against misuse. When we can do that, then MAYBE we can build nuclear power plants the was Starbucks builds coffee shops. Why worry about the control of the waste? Step 1) Grab a Kleenex and wipe the drool off your chin. Step 2) On the way home, buy the February issue of Scientific American. Step 3) Read the article on managing unsecured nuclear materials. Read the rest of the post you snipped! I read it, and then snipped it to make the next message less cluttered. The things you said are only distantly related to the worst threats regarding nuclear materials. Go back to step 2 and buy the magazine. You'll probably be interested and surprised, as I was. I'd post the text, but I don't subscribe to the digital version, which is $39. Yucca mt can be protected. but there is so much nuclear material out there in bombs, etc and rogue states with nuclear reactors, the worry is more when do the nut cases get it, the do they get the material. You keep saying these things about storage, but that's not the point. Buy the magazine. There are things in the article you and I were completely unaware of. Do *are* interested in learning something new every 12 hours, aren't you? Or, have you picked out your gravestone already? There's nothing in between the two. |

Name one fact or truth published by them. The "reasons" for invading Iraq? The HUGE increase in the US debt? The wiretapping of American citizens without warrants? The torturing? Social Security "reform"? Medicare "reform"? Congressional ethics "reform"? Actually the list is a lot longer, but I have a busy day ahead. Posts like this make me think you're really a not-so-covert Socialist agitator intent on making the U.S. right wing look bad. DSK |

by moveon.org. NOYB wrote: Moveon's claim that Bush lied about the "reasons" for invading Iraq Are you now claiming that President Bush told the truth about his reasons for invading Iraq? Yellowcake? Trailers? Links to Al-Queda? Dancing in the streets & tossing flowers to the liberators? Moveon's lies that the deficit continues to grow, when it has in fact shrunk considerably from 2004 to 2005. Aren't these the same 'accounting tricks' that you're always accusing others of using to claim Clinton built up a budget surplus? Is the Iraq war expenses included in this 'shrinking deficit'? Moveon's claims that the President "broke the law" by granting the NSA the ability to listen to phone calls made by terrorists...when in fact several Presidents before him took similar steps Actually, you're the one lying about Moveon.org's action... they are petitioning to determine the legaltiy of the action, not claiming that it's illegal. And no President has "taken similar steps" unless it was during a declared war. Moveon's lies that Bush authorized people like England to pose with naked Iraqi soldiers with dog collars around their necks. Please post a link to Moveon.org's statement. And remember, President Bush is the Commander in Chief of a military that was ordered to disregard the Geneva Conventions and "push the envelope" on treatment of prisoners... a doctrine that presumably came right from the top since it was publicly declared by the Secretary of Defense and the Attorney General (presumably with Bush's knowledge & approval). BTW while we're on the subject of accountability, chain of command, and legality, how do you feel about President Bush's use of so many 'signing memoranda' when executing legislation? Moveon's lies and distortion of the statistics about Bush's social security reform proposals. PLease quote same. President Bush's proposals to "reform" Social Security were a transparent attempt at looting, and most Americans were not dumb enough to fall for it... of course you blame 'libby-rull propaganda' for that. Moveon's characterization that Bush is a modern day Hitler Can you provide a link to that? OTOH there is a retouched photo of Hillary done up to look like Hitler that is very popular in Republican mail lists, and of course the fake photo of Kerry with Hanoi Jane. Actually, I don't follow Moveon.org much at all, so your protests only serve to give them more publicity. Good work comrade! DSK |

In some states you will pay sales tax twice. I have had very good offers to keep cars, but not good enough to move to the next, new car. My 2002 Audi has about 20K miles on it and in near perfect condition. I could probably net a couple grand on it if I bought it and resold it. How long was your lease on it? 48 mos. Financing was ridiculous and nothing out of pocket. It was my second lease with them and, although I'm attracted to the new a6 (mostly the interior), I'm also attracted to getting off the merry go round. Per our discussion, Volkswagen would still get its money out of the car vs. GM having to write off the difference between residual and the actual worth of the car. Audi had a great lease on its A6 and A4. The A4 was $349/mo. with zero out of pocket, 12,000 mi/yr, for only 24 months. The A6 was $569/mo. or $599/mo with the same terms. Obviously, the 24 month term was what I found most appealing. But I wanted to be under $500, so I didn't even drive the A6. The A4 was too small and too slow. I couldn't get used to a 4-cylinder after driving the G35...even if it was turbocharged. |

"jps" wrote in message ... I've had one hell of a time justifying the expense of fuel and, consequently, over the last year our boat has been out very little. Now I come to find that Exxon, Chevron and Halliburton have made more money this past year than at any time in history and our rate of savings hasn't been this low since 1933. I'm feeling stung. The taxation is going to happen one way or another. I feel government is in a better position to redistribute my taxation more than I trust Exxon or Chevron or Halliburton but I guess they already have. Think about it folks. Very few companies are having banner years, apart from these companies. Is it some sort of coincidence that these same companies are friends of the current administration? This whole thing stinks from the head down. I guess the dinghy will have to do for now. jps get a sailboat!! |

What you "net" on it in a sale would be a repayment to yourself for overpayment. You will also pay sales tax on the residual value since you never owned it in the first place. You would now be buying it from the bank. That can be avoided if you trade it in. As far as I can tell, leasing is a guessing game for the banks. They have to guess what the car will be worth after a certain period of time with a certain number of miles on the odometer. I have also traded in a lease right before its expiration date and picked up a grand, or so. I have traded in others that were essentially a wash just to avoid the return hassle. Dan |
