You might actually be wrong. But anyway, 2 buses need 2 drivers and in Keith's example there was only one driver. Hence the one bus had to do 3 trips, meaning the kids had to do staggered school hours. Sounds daft to me for sure. Graham

Not one word. As you can see, there were three there. I can help with your counting if you want? The post I replied to said: "Because America has the wherewithal and the will to do whatever it wants to, and all the little guys resent that." So can I assume by your reply that the option is force others to do as I say or be a yellow bellied coward. Honestly, this makes no sense to me.

The writings and rhetoric of radical sects in Saudi, the remnants of the Taliban the pronouncements in public after the various attacks in Europe and Asia, etc. I generally take people at their word when they say they will continue to bomb until the US and the West are defeated and Islam rules throughout the world. These are the guys that want to do is in and the subset who hate us.

No idea what was in them woods! Not too surprised, though--the ONF reminds me a little of the Pine Barrens in NJ, where I've also hiked. Ever heard about them? Anthropologically fascinating area. The weather is amenable. Anyway, the ONF has to be better than a steam grate in NYC.... Eric Lucas |
