my weight is perfect for my height -- which varies.
the cost of living hasn't affected its popularity. long story short: they paid the same amount of money in trip expenses as they would have in tax. |

on the
> other hand, if no-one is carrying a gun then nobody can shoot anybody. i guess you missed the news of the
last couple of dozen decades. if somebody wants to kill, a gun is just a
convenience.except for home grown criminals and terrorists. bush and congress
completely removed all funding for project safe neighborhood", a program
designed to crack down on gun trafficking and gun-related crimes. they also
pulled funding for a program to track and intercept illegal purchases of
guns by youths. all because "it's a matter of priorities and a lean budget".

| it's not particularly fear
for their own safety (of being shot), but rather that they will have to
shoot if someone (a clerk) pulls out some kind of weapon.
not to disagree with the statement. it's still better that a person can
defend their own person/property. on the
> other hand, if no-one is carrying a gun then nobody can shoot anybody. i supect the number of drunken altercations has declined anyway
since 9/11, since the same possibility exists that an air marshall, if one
were present, could make the same mistake. |
| where it is legal to do so, there are already people carrying
weapons into various settings where it is just as or more likely that some
drunken idiot might started something.and i haven't seen any evidence
that shootings have increased. if anything, crime is lower in states where
it is legal to carry concealed firearms.
it would appear that you are enamored with the idea of gov't neanderthals

transactions. |

endlessly blaming
the people of opposing opinions for their problems. rallying support for everything
that was anti-something. the volume of the activist/anti-whatever posts is
staggering when compared to the number of posts which were either - not
political - or opposition supported (you remember the opposition. those
would be the majority - undetectable in this newsgroup). it's a small minority of egg throwers - the same
ones with only a few variants. and they're clean to boot! my dad would have
liked those.except for home grown criminals and terrorists. bush and congress

for a moment it annoys me when you bitch about everything the media is
stupid enough to inform you of. then i realize how much i enjoy hearing
you cry like that. |

for once you have your facts straight -- that tax nearly ruined almost every

according to woman who used to of "army against sin,"
however, the card presents a -faced lie.
six years ago, when her superior found out about her sexual orientation and
her relationship with woman at salvation army, he became furious
and told her that partner was the devil.
when maze refused psychiatric counseling, she was given three days to
the salvation army compound where she lived.
"it's totally based on articles of , which is war against sin,
and we were soldiers fighting in war," maze said, clarifying the
central purpose of salvation army.. .. |
