To which I would argue, is low traffic a bad thing? I think the signal:noise ratio has gone way up, lately. Again, I remember quite a bit of traffic around JDG every six months or so when he'd stir the pot on the abortion debate. You might miss him and all that traffic, Dan, but I sure don't. It took me over an hour to get through this weekend's traffic with all of John's interrogative answers going round, and round, and round, and round....I'm dizzy. And as for going to jail for not paying taxes, anyone remember exactly what happened to Joan Baez? I know she refused to pay 60% of her taxes one year (in the 1970's) because that's how much went to defense and the Viet Nam war, but I can't remember off the top of my head if she went to jail or not. I'm sure it's easy to look up, but I'm trying to get out the door to go swimming. Another thing I'd like to point out, for not particular reason, is Where Are The Women On This List? Are Julia and I the only xx's left? You lurking females out there, *Please* speak up on anything and everything. This has become BrinL for mostly men and a couple of women.

What will the world be like for them? The primary group we donate to each year is trying to reduce world populations. I'm worried we're approaching a colony count that's going to exceed carrying capacity. Doom and gloom? Maybe -- so convince me otherwise, guys. Oh, and anyone drive a CNG vehicle? The Engineer is starting to make noises like he actually wants to spend some $$ on car, and is thinking that might be the way to go. The only one's we found in the US were Hondas in California -- go figure.
