Carter may not have been very skilled at the rough-and-tumble of US
politics, but he proved to be a remarkably-skilled peace negotiator
and problem solver, well earning his prize, and an asset to mankind.

His settlement of the Palestinian problem has certainly stood the test
of time. And his friend Sadat must be eternally grateful for his
efforts.

I'm grateful that he gave us Ronald Reagan, who brought down the Wall
and the USSR and the flight controllers union.

Just to nitpick, anybody can give or deny any approval they want to anybody
or anything they want. It's merely irrelevant. ;-)

I disagree. With many of the rightwingers, if they tried to approve gay

You can find TV frequencies on the web; channel is on 56MHz and the
nominal spacing is 6MHz, but I can't remember where the gap is for FM
radio.

TV channel 2 is 54 - 60 MHz. FM broadcast is 88 - 108 MHz. Aero and
land mobile communications go up to 174 MHZ, so Channel 7 is 174-180,
and channel 13 ends at 216 MHz - then there's a big gap before the UHF
channels (14-up) start.

If you're not experienced with batteries then until it's presented in

Correct. But in a given case, the practical limit may be that the
*voltage* is too low to operate the load correctly, whether the battery
is 2/3 or 3/4 discharged when the voltage *at the load* drops to the
critical value.

Pictures sure turned out good, for radio.

I have a fundamentally different take on gay marriage. What needs to be
done is to quit discriminating against single people, regardless of
sexual orientation. The gays only want to marry so they can get the same
largess that straight married people (i.e. breeders) get; The people who
are smart enough to use birth control (or be gay ;-) ) get screwed,
subsidizing the screaming poop machines.

And abortion should be mandatory for any female on welfare.
Racist? Are you saying welfare applicants have a racial profile? ;->

Personally, I think that both Kerry and Bush are both unqualified, just with
different perspectives.

I'm hoping for someone on 08 that has *both* leadership and isn't politically
motivated, rather than our current candidates that have one or the other. It
would have been fun to see what Perot would have done/accomplished/destroyed,
