Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt You could not have named two that did more to let the "cat outta the bag". Well, no, they weren't puppets, but they sure liked to pull the strings. It's a quetion who money was worse, J. Davis' Confederate money, or Lincoln's "Greenbacks". Lincoln started us on the road to the overarching state, and Teddy gave us the start (and a goodly trip down the road) to the Military-Industrial Complex. And a segregated military. The military was segregated long before Teddy's time. Nope. A segregated military was TR's response to Blacks refusing to do a human wave attack on Spanish machine guns in Cuba. |

Segregation of the US military was a product of Secretary of War Roosevelt. |

After realizing this, | my | | four year old decided to subscribe :-). Today he recieved a | solicitation | | from another aviation magazine. Obviously they sold his (and my) name | and | | address. I always check the little box indicating that I don't want | my | | information shared and I don't want to recieve any offers. I will | never | | subscribe to any Belvoire publication again. | | Many magazines offer discounts to attract first time subscribers, just | as | landlords offer discounts on the first six months lease, restaurants | offer | two for one specials, etc. It is not an attempt to cheat you. | | In sending your son an ad for another magazine, they were no more | dishonest | than you representing yourself as your own son. I figure you're about | even. | Maybe they should send you a letter saying they never want you as a | customer | again. :-) | | | | To be clear, I didn't represent myself as my son. | | You couldn't! In that case, you couldn't reach the rudder pedals. Nah, we'll just give him a cushion. From now on, he is Mike Rapoport "The Small." :-) |

Rosenfeldt is no relation to Roosevelt, the name change was a ploitical decision. |

![]() "Tom Sixkiller" wrote in message ... "Mike Rapoport" wrote in message ink.net... Actually ending our dependence on foriegn oil would be pretty easy but people don't want to do it. In round figures: We import about a third of our Petroleum Two thirds of petroleum is used for transportation It is possible to cut transportation use in half through a combination of fuel efficiency and more efficient trip planning. The reason we don't is that the costs are horrendous. As for trip planning and fuel efficiency, I'd like to see how Soccer Mom's® driving SUV's and mini-vans are going to improve their trip planning. Ha....... I have no doubt that the mileage driven by Soccer Moms could be reduced by 35% or more with a little planning. This is an argument that is had often around the old homestead and whenever it comes up I ask why it took 2 hours for what was clearly a 1 hour bunch of stops I can show my wife how it could have easily be done in a more efficient manner.

I show her where the time went and Poof. I'm off the hook for whatever and I go back to working on the plane. |
