The challenge for boaters who don't care and say, "We can

When the working man has to give up boating because he can't

to
fuel up for a weekend's outing, it guts the infrastructure
that
everybody depends on. Without the critical mass of the small
boaters,
many of the service businesses and retailers upon which the
entire
boating community relies cannot remain in business. There is
less
justification for the state to set aside marine parks or
otherwise
prioritize boating recreation.

I wish I had a solution. I don't. But when poor families are
facing a
"heat or eat" decision every week while BIGOILCO makes
$40-billion
profits
it's possible to see the human tragedy in play, even without

And this is with a gasoline surplus.. Just wait till supplies
run
low.

Ronald Reagan was a strong believer in personal diplomacy - the idea

Oh. It's about talking to Al Qaeda.

Not just them, the Talyban too.

That's a lot of people to talk to. Narrow it down a bit and I'm sure Harry
would volunteer to pop over there and negotiate a settlement for us.

We just have to talk to the leaders, I'm sure the rest will fall in line.
If we can stop them from hating us it will go along way towards stopping
hate.

Maybe we could use Harry's lobsta boat to sign the treaties on!

WEST AFRICA.

HELLO FRIEND,

How are you doing,hope you are fine?

worth the sum of NINETEEN MILLION THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES
DOLLARS (19,300,000.00) for our mutual benefit,

was arranging the old and abandoned customers file in oder to sign and
submit to the entire bank management for an official re-documentation
and audit of the year against2008.

Be informed clearly that it was stated in our banking rules and
regulations which was signed lawfully that if such fund remains
unclaimed till the period of 8years starting from the date of death of
the customer,the money will be transfered into the bank treasury as an
unclaimed fund.
As an honour and advantage bestowed to our foriegn customers base on the
rules guiding our bank, it was stated obviously that if you are not a
citizen of Burkina-Faso,you have the absolute authority to claim the
fund hence you are a foriegner despite your differences from country of
origin of the deceased.
on the transfer of this fund into your
account,(39%)being(U.S$7,527,000.00)will be your share in respect of the
account provision and your assistance rendered during the transfer of
the fund into your bank account,(52%)being(U.S$10,036,000.00)will be my
share being the coorfdinator and pillar of the transaction while the
rest(9%)being(U.S$1,737,000.00)will be shared to the respectable charity
homes which has been my second dream to be of help to humanity.

Now,if you are really sure of your trustworthy,accountability and
confidentiality on this transaction without
dissapointment,reply&contact me through )
