Neither do I.

That's dreadful!

That very well could be.

 BF> No, not really. Why?
 BF> Norway is much more expensive.

Aha!  That explains it.  I momentarily confused Sweden with Norway.  I used
to date a girl from Norway when she lived in my home town of New Orleans. 
Her brother and I were good friends and her parents and I had a more than
amicable relationship.  I probably would have married her (something her
parents and I wanted very much), but it didn't turn out that way.  I still
like her, though.  Her brother used to tell me how beautiful it is there
and he wished they could go back for visits more often than they did.

I have no opinion.  (-:

I thought the French were trying to gain control of the EU?

That's a shame.  It could cost them money that they normally would get from
the tourist trade.

I blame them for making irresponsible statements.  The first thing I
drilled into the heads of my children, upon their reaching adulthood, was
that the only freedom they had to give up was the freedom to act
irresponsibly.

None that we've found yet, but what were they doing with all those
biological suits?  Where have you been reading about the so-called secret
documents?  I haven't seen anything along those lines, but I read
selectively, so I may have missed those items.  A lot of people are going
to believe there never were any WMD even after they're found, and I have no
doubt we'll find them, given time.  Remember, they've had 12 years to hide
that stuff.

It wasn't oil, believe me.  The oil there is for the Iraqis.  Have you
noticed how relative peaceful it's been since the coalition forces have
been in Iraq?

Welcome to the club!  (-:  A friend of mine in New Zealand says they don't
want any American warships there because they are nuclear powered.  Many
people here don't want that, either, but if it's keeping the peace, isn't
it a small price to pay?

It is confusing, isn't it?  I have no idea what's going on in Africa.  The
last time I read the paper (a few days ago), a woman got on a bus in
Chechnya and blew herself up along with many other occupants of the bus. 
Some escaped with injuries, and among those, some aren't expected to
survive.

Once the free world comes together and eradicates a culture that willfully
does that kind of harm to their fellow man, the better place this world
will be and then we can get back to the normal business of the day
(denouncing Americans). (-:  After all, if you know me and don't like me,
that's one thing.  If you don't know me and don't like me, that's
foolishness.

Roger
