The reason has nothing at all to do you the minimum wage etc. BAH is conflating weather conditions with wages. They both start with a "W".

A lot of americans are saying "this is weird weather we are saying". On tuesday, I expect Bush to say the glow ball warming is a major threat.

If you wanted to destroy the US, wouldn't the easiest way be to exhaust its economy and it military. This would leave it in a weakened state and thus easy for, let say China, to destroy. -- -- kensmith(a)rahul.net forging knowledge

The "him" was OBL. The Taliban claimed to not have control over him and that he was not in their country etc. The war was thus started and the Taliban temporarily removed from power. The US didn't completely destroy the Taliban so that over the next few years they will be able to regroup and retake control of the country. > >Graham > -- -- kensmith(a)rahul.net forging knowledge

A car could sit out on the street and read your CRT display with the right gear. Just not on the PCs I made for the big boys. Our screen glass alone was over $400 each (at 17"), and it was just a thin glass with a conductive optical coating and metallized edges! |
