Gee, we are so much bettor off now with that over here. We now can't get insurance on our planes for passengers. Thanks for giving our lawyers such wonderful ideas, on how to screw us!
However good sense and science and the benefit of useful ways of looking at things, measuring them, and describing them, like metric system, shouldn't be discarded because it came from a different political persuasion.

I would like to think that the comment that one below has to be either tounge in cheek or the height or depth of redneckism. If it wasn''t for the people from other countries and cultures and ideas, you wouldn't have jack s**t. After all, it was the french who taught you how to be a republic! And the Irish who gave you jack daniels. Atomic power? Einstein and his mates. >Now, sorry if I offend anyone but it seems just plain NUTS to >me that after all of the above, and much more, we are supposed to >kiss the asses of our intellectual, mental, moral and military >inferiors and adopt THEIR way of doing anything!
