It doesn't matter! The currency has been de-linked from gold for quite a bit.

I am French and English and German, an American and a Lesbian.


Wait... there's a country full of lesbians somewhere?

Socialism isn't a 'system', it's a broad theory of socio-economic organisation. 'Presidential democracy' is a system.

most of them have dual american/israeli citizenship.


Hold it there! Dual citizens are an asset to America.

For one thing, they have a better medical system and do not palpitate when the price of oil goes up a penny.

I think the French are hated because, like Frank Sinatra, they have always done it their way.

As for who helped whom, well, the French aided the American Revolution, and neither that nor D-Day was out of any sense of charity on the part of the saviours.

if they have 'em, they should use them to bomb the he'll out of Iran.


That would be the worst use of nuclear weapons since, well, Nagasaki.

If your username is 'tohardtohandle' you probably meant 'too hard to handle', in which case the first 'too' is misspelt. Also, this isn't the most encouraging of names.

Your description is a bit of an essay. A précis might be better received.

Ah, the Question. Let me count the ways.

Older women are far more mature and understanding. They are more likely to be appreciative, and less likely to be obsessed with their (usually gorgeous) figures. They are relaxed, classy, and most of all, considerate.

I'd like to see that from a real news source please, like Reuters or the BBC. And no, Fox does not count.

If you believe in alternative medicine, it is very real.


Belief does not make anything real. The perception of something being real is not the same as it being, in fact, real.


It is none other than a prana/chakra/ki/ or whatever you call the energy flowing through your body, disorder/shortage.


I must point out that while prana and chi are mystical concepts of flowing energy, chakras are not. A chakra is a node that acts as a source of that energy. Current and batteries.

How many "casual" links to people plan to shrug their shoulders about?


Not 'casual'. 'Causal'. Two distinct words.

While I agree that the Bush Jr. years have been largely bad news for America and the rest of the world, NAFTA was a positive step towards free trade. Protectionism will do us more damage than good in the long run. Case in point, the Smoot-Hawley Tariff.

And here's an article I enjoyed: http://www.iht.com/articles/2009/03/06/opinion/edglaeser.php

As also I enjoyed your little joke about the Greens being a legitimate political party. Go on, give us another one!

Sex is neither a synonym nor an antonym of love.

There is an essential difference between running a business and running a campaign.
