I know what you are saying...and agree to some extent. *Are you one of those people that think the government of the US was behind the 9-11 attacks? (And if you expect any credibility don't call it 11-9 or you will making an arse of yourself and needlessly inflaming a response. *Also, spare me on how the rest of the world uses a date format.) Heh Heh. No, I am not a conspiracy theory person. *I see no reason not to believe a bunch of nutters from Saudi didn't do the job. I don't discount the possibilty, but there is no credible evidence that is was a CIA/FBI plot. What is interesting is how the Saudis present in the country were allowed to leave when no-one else was. Not surprising. The Saudi "royals" have been thick with the Prescott/ Bush family for generations back. Just like the Prescott/Bush dynasty was thick with the Nazis before & during WW II. But not half as interesting as blaming Saddam and inventing WMDs. Cheney and his (discredited) "informant" Curveball, along with Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz and the rest of the oil crowd did a professional job selling this B.S. to the ignorant and gullible American public. NOTHING must be allowed to interfere with the US- Saudi oil relationship. If Saddam thought he could bust up that cabal and take over, plus denominating prices in Euros instead of Dollars -- why, he had to be taught a lesson!!! Never mind how much it would cost in the blood of our sons and daughters ...and those of the other countries that were bullied or bribed to join the "coalition". HB |

Now retired on a reasonable pension. Well good by todays standards now everything is f****d up over here. Heh Heh, I did live in a trailer for a short time whilst I was doing up a house. I had enough after three months. No joke living in a trailer I can tell you. |

Whilst I was visiting my e-pal in Iowa, I met a friend of his whose wife had had half her intestine removed. (To lose weight) Or even more than half maybe. They had really f****d up the job and she was in a really bad way poor woman. Basically they took out too much. The procedure certainly worked, she was thin. But she was very ill (gonna die ill) and could eat no solid food. Pity, they were real nice people. I read somewhere that If the entire USA was converted to methanol production it might make a quarter of road fuel used today. ie waste of time. Meanwhile food shortfalls cause world price rises. Heh Heh, I grow my own corn in my garden. It is however something of a novelty food over here. It is only relatively recently (15-20 yrs) that strains have been devised that grow well in our climate. But now it is as good as in the US. |

I don't use butter or salt! (Some people who use butter have never tried it without) Proponents of methanol say, it's not food-just feed corn for animals. What a load...it is protein none the less and can be made palatable! |

More than 85degF is rare here as is less than 25. We did have zero F last Winter but it was the lowest temperature ever recorded. |
