Also, since you're referring to slang, you should be aware that: "pretty the same" is meaningless and should be written: "pretty much the same" The context is clear from its use in the sentence, even though the meaning of the sentence isn't really clear, the grammar needed to successfully integrate: "pronouncation and meaning" into the sentence being missing. -- John Fields Professional Circuit Designer

They *are*, >however, a direct consequence of politicians using fear to manipulate people >into re-electing them. I don't think that's the whole story. It's more like, "Four guys used box cutters to hijack planes. If somebody else did it with cigar slicers, wouldn't we look like fools. So let's ban everything sharp from planes." You see the same effect in other areas, like food safety and all sorts of things... an event produces specialized paranoia that fades back to normal, like the airline liquids thing. And all sorts of people do this, like business managers, not just politicos. >We (their constituency) have the power to not let >them do that, but running around like Chicken Little, uncritically parroting >political soundbites like "thry hate us for our freedom" and "they want to >destroy all of Western Civilization" Exaggeration, based on all the people I know. Sane people have no real fear of terrorism in their daily lives. I guess some people live in fear, or are drama queens who like to get worked up, but they are fairly rare; we only have a few in this ng. John
