    Well, if the McDonald's store indeed wouldn't refund her payment, one can certainly understand her being upset. Still, it's not 911 material.

    No, but you can look at the label first and see if your comfortable hosting it. Michael Martin Australia "I controlled my laughter and simple said "No,I am very busy,so I can't write any code for you". The moment they heard this all the smiling face turned into a sad looking face and one of them farted. So I had to leave the place as soon as possible." - Mr.Prakash One Fine Saturday. 24/04/2004

    Police in Scotland ordered to give special priority to crimes where the victims are Muslim[^] When all this suicidal foolishness has borne its inevitable fruit, the question of whether to open a speakeasy will be a non-issue.

    They're not in general circulation but yes. Basically just sold to collectors at this point. Dollar coins would be in the same position except for postal vending machines issuing them as change. Today's lesson is brought to you by the word "niggardly". Remember kids, don't attribute to racism what can be explained by Scandinavian language roots. -- Robert Royall

    They are very helpful in trying to figure what actions are driving the market. Not being the sharpest knife in the drawer it took me several months of looking at them on a daily basis to really begin to "get it".

    We are Americans (and we have been called that for most of the last 400 years). That Canadians of a certain mind-set (*) want to whinge about that is not our problem. That Canadians of a certain mind-set seem to want us to stop being Americans ... it sometime seems so that *they* can then claim the word ... is not our problem. (*) Typically, leftists of various stripes who define their cultural/national identity in opposition to that of Americans; it's rather sad and pathetic, really.

Yes I tend to rather enjoy being complacently and fatuously sure of myself about things that aren't true. Oakman wrote: I knew about libertarianism before there was a Google; before there was a Netscape. And I'm sure you also knew all about the history of marijuan use by US troops during the American-Mexican war. (Was that your dad's thesis by any chance?) Chaining ourselves to the moral high ground does not make us good guys. Aside from making us easy targets, it merely makes us idiotic prisoners of our own self loathing.
