However, I've noticed that rapid communication in a a common languages seems to diminish critical thinking. People who hear or read an item, react with their adrenaline glands rather than mull over the information and discuss it. I'm thinking about a premise that involves a critical number of the population gets into react mode and the effects of that long-term. /BAH

If I can't find what I want, I don't buy anything. I walk out of a lot of stores, empty handed because what I came for wasn't in stock. As far as apples go, I haven't seen one fit to eat in four months, so its been that long since I've had one. A dollar a pound for apples the size of a large chicken egg? Forget it! There isn't enough to take two good bites, so someone else can buy them. -- Service to my country? Been there, Done that, and I've got my DD214 to prove it. Member of DAV #85. Michael A.

Macs just got stocked two weeks ago. > A dollar a pound for apples the size of a large chicken egg? >Forget it! There isn't enough to take two good bites, so someone else >can buy them. My tree produced apples the size of crabapples this year. There was something odd about this year's apple crop. Tomatoes seemed to stay unusually small but we haven't figured out if it's the seed or the season; have to wait until next year to test that. Now, what if the item you want to acquire is a continuation of your life style? The only store won't allow it and destroys anything that has the taint of that life style? Now what do you do? /BAH

"Different" --- I think that "Alien" is more correct! Stirring the interest factor, we have for example Mona Sheikh, Tariq Ramadan, Abu Laban constantly lecturing us barbarians on the value of adopting stoning and beheading through sharia law - when "they" become "many enough". > > This is fascinating. > > John Sure is; right now "they" are routinely torching the ghetto's here in ?rhus and stoning the firecrews (and the police - IF the lazy b%stards arrive). Probably wants the place to look more like $HOME eh? What we call "cultural enrichment" around here to mock the soft and gooey left.
