Not knowing what country you're from, I'm still willing to bet we have

I live in Canada. Please stay the fuck out.

No critisism intended here, but did they
factor in the percentage of Americans who
do, or do not, watch CNN and out of that
number, how many actually responded?
That would be difficult to know, let alone surmise.

One would hope that CNN would have interviewed just over 1000 people,
selected as far as possible at random. The methodology of polling the
public on such questions is well established.

Hmmm, the USA rage against persecution seems somewhat selective ??

We don't have the resources to kick every tin pot dictator out, and we
must be selective in what benefits us the most.

Maybe we need to elect the President that way.
A random polling of 1000 people. That's, what?,
20 from each state? Hmmm, maybe 10,000, 200 from
each state would be better. ;-)

Gee, that's great, but did you ever think about the possiblity that
not
everyone here is from the states, and not everyone here exactly AGREES
with
what the states is doing??

Then *don't donate* - That was hard to do, Huh?

That's not the point.

There's a point?

No one disagrees that persecution is a bad thing. The problem is U.S.

a persecuting despot? Do you as a taxpayer want to go that route?
Iraq alone is going to cost us a minimum of $87 billion, remember.

Furthermore, how can we justify getting involved with one country and
not another?

So which is it? At one time you're asking if the US should get
involved with every country, then the next you're critisizing us for
being selective in our missions. Get a clue!

I asked questions, my dear. Answer them. With a clue or more.

It's most likely much more, but some try to guess. ;-)

Hmm. Clinton made some really stupid mistakes, but hiding behind his wife
was not one of them.

5% of the people think,
10% of the people think that they think, and
85% of the people feel.

So how do you feel about that?

Dear Jim,

Drinking too much wine will make you dumb and blind, pardner, and we see
signs of that here. I've been on the group since FIDONET days, 1986, and
on the Windows version since 1996. Open your cactus pickled eyes and look
around occasionally.

And what's that got to do with the price of horse puckey in your house?
Since you are a "professional", and probably a disenfranchised member of
IEEE and mensa, you should know not to Cross Post, especially off topic
messages to NGs. You've evidently been quite a success in electronics,
too bad you've lost your sense of ethics and self respect. You certainly
aren't a good representative of two great institutes of learning.

I see you started this mess, and seem bound to continue it. I think enough
of your practice notice I'm sending a copy to the FTC as well. That probably
won't do diddly squat to the practice of "spam in the NGs", but something
should be done to control this violation of decency.

You are the type of irritant that's ruining the NG system in general. you've
spawned over 200 messages I hope that helps pump your ego, it probably needs
some sort of boost.

Sincerely,
a digital non-fan

I see, so because I'm not american, in your eyes, I have no right to

You're just upset because Bush's new Medicare Prescription
Plan will be taking your pharmaceuticals business away.
BOO HOO!

Actually most of those drugs are made by US manufacturers, imported to
Canada for sale, and sold back to the states, for LESS then those same drugs
are available for sale in the states. Go figure. Since I don't work in that
industry I don't really care though.

Sure you do. If they change the current laws governing the drug
companies, drug prices in Canada will go you as well. Current law
allows them to be sold at lower cost to less developed countries, and
americans have to pay all the development costs. New legislation would
spread that cost to all users. You could see drug prices double or
triple overnight if it is passed.
