Should they really obtain a working majority (which has not yet happened), few of us will be able to afford flying 10 years from now. It's already unaffordable for the vast majority of the population, and even those who claim to afford it generally spend less time each year in an aircraft than they spend on the toilet, which hardly seems like a significant amount of flying to me. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

... With the change in Congress from "we will win" to "Yes, Osama, we will cut and run" I expect an attack on NYC and DC between Jan 4-20, 2007 and an attack in SoCal by March 19 that will force evacuation of much of SoCal Then, on July 4, Jesus will return and transport the Republican Party to heaven. --Gary |

The big Dem victory can be summed up in the following words, "Get us
out of this war!" The economy is fine, the foreign policy is tolerable (excluding the war), but Bush got us into it, he now has a mandate to get us out of it. If he doesn't the Republicans will see an even bigger debacle in 2008. |

No, we got into the Afghanistan war due to the attacks on NY and DC. Iraq was the result of stupidity on the part of our fearless leaders, and the stupidity of the populace that supports those leaders. |
