If you want to really round out your understanding of what is going on in S America, and some of the worlds other hot spots, read Shock Doctrine, Naomi Klein. Chavez is just another guy who had a good idea, but ended up proving once again that power ( unchallenged ) corrupts. As for the nuclear thing, the question is, how do you close Pandora's box?

You can imagine links to the database with 100,000 entries in the array. Getting from one to another may be getting bogged down. I notice having trouble posting at times, excessive clocking at other times, and failure to respond. All symptoms of system strain.

Where is our little navigator, asleep and with his hand in a splint..or is he gone for good? Did Topix finally put their steel-toe boots on?

Suspense sidetracked by a bunch of goobers playing video games...kind of reminds me of the US 2006 elections...all those good things that newly elected Dem congress was going to do...just another in a long line of fizzles since 1992...in any case...hope you had a great mom's day and stay well and safe...

from what i can remember it took bush a while to bother about Katrina. didn't third world countries offer help first ( no i don't mean the UK before you say it ). bill smith wrote: <quoted text> What kind of world will it be if one Nation or set of Naions feel that they can intervene to change the sovereign government of any country they choose. I wouldn't be in such a hurry to give this one a pass if I was you. I don't want to know abut one world government but that is the direction Bush and the New World Order is trying to drive us in.
