goin to CA soon, to be a CC tychoon

Rumor has it that Hans Franke may have mentioned these words: Like our new Seat Belt law... I hurt no-one by not wearing it, but it costs me $100USD if I'm caught without it -- and there have been no documented studies _that anyone can show me_ [1] with regards to how many accidents people are maimed or killed *by seat belts*, who would be alive or less injured had they not worn them. My brother is still kicking because twice he defied the law -- on 2 occasions, he would be dead if he'd worn his seat belt... And yes, I don't think it should be a crime to commit suicide, either -- it's my life![2] Personal or not, you're quite right. Agree or disagree with the war, I *still* see so many people blame the troops for it -- it's not their fault! All they can do is the best they can... ... and yet, the "support the troops" movement for some people is a bit too strong as well -- here in the US there's a huge "push" to wear a yellow ribbon to show support for the troops -- nevermind that the song this comes and I had one lady I never met *rip me limb from limb* when I wasn't wearing a ribbon. I simply said: "Look here, lady; I supported our troops by *being one* for 6 years." She didn't even apologize - she just walked away (quietly at least... thankfully). [snip] I don't think you're qualified, Hans! You're knowledge of english is already too good, from the sounds of it, and most of the real computer knowledge I use day to day is over (or at least near) 10 years old... OnTopic: I *might* be able to make that next year - Hans, are there any really good Deutschland map websites out there? I have an uncle in ?Garmisch? (I'd have to look that up) and I served for 3 weeks in Oerbke (about 50km north of Hannover)... I've got enough American Express points that I could have 2 free European Round-Trip tickets -- the wife & I might be headed for Germany sometime - maybe I'll plan to fly there??? Laterz, Roger "Merch" Merchberger [1] Many people say they exist - but when I say "show me" they become conspicuously quiet... [2] It's prolly a gubbermint conspiracy - The only reason I can think of for it to be illegal to take one's own life is because it would reduce the tax income. -- Roger "Merch" Merchberger -- sysadmin, Iceberg Computers zmerch(a)30below.com What do you do when Life gives you lemons, and you don't *like* lemonade?????????????
