Hope you're right, grannywils. Though I fear that both political "drinks" are more or less hijacked and infiltrated, i.e. controlled by the two great parties, kept perhaps on a long leash, functioning as the respective gathering places for the dissatisfied and disappointed on both sides, the later returnees. The opposite would be a surprise for me. One should observe now the reactions of both Democrats and Republicans for some time. Noticeable convergence or divergence to the "drinks", that's the decisive question. Normally whalers don't go far off from the mothership. In the medium term you'll know it, I'm sure :thumbsup: If I were an American I'd probably put the Coffee Party to the proof, yup, cos I love coffee with milk and sugar :wub: But which one? The Coffee Party or the Real Coffee Party? Two by two they are. Damn it! o_O

Evidently the Coffee Party is the to be expected pro-Democrat atomizer to the pro-Republican Tea Party. Guess the consequence is a renewal of the public political paralysis - the Mexican standoff. Here comes the Nuka Cola Party as the longed for white knight into play. Already soon, I think.

:thumbsup: and thanks, Silver and grannywils :smile: Hopefully these sayings aren't written in Lakota, for I know merely a few words of this wonderful language - and no grammar, as usual :blink: Take your protein pills, boys http://www.abload.de/img/anne9hol.gif

Again - no. Shots of our real world are not game related, or our understanding of reality is corrupted. There's always a logical limit, a separating line between game virtuality and reality. Let it go at that. Geography and News sites are hosting enough material for those actually interested in desert stuff, for example. No good reason to get nuked here by daily CNN sandstorms or Mogadishu vacation impressions (the own or the unasked ones by others).

Thanks for listening, grannywils and silver. Oldie But Goodie :thumbsup: Guess I have one or two Enya images somewhere, grannywils.

Look for firmware at the manufacturer's website.

Last helping. Who do you think you are? The self-appointed representative of the Nexus? That'd be as farfetched as many of the "information", i.e. not even worth a penny. Performing my own grandma still happily clung in Holland of 1944 is not part of my repertoire, fortunately. And it oughtn't be yours either. The US will find a solution for themselves in the matter of health care. May God help them. :thumbsup: tot ziens, better take your protein pills, boys http://www.abload.de/img/anne9hol.gif

Second helping. Defend themselves against what? Terrorism? Already heard of our co-op European defense system? Guess not, at least not fully understood as the obsolete nuclear reference to the US, UK and France, missing e.g. a not so small Germany, clearly shows. Living in the atomic past of the Cold War is not what we are doing right now. For if you do you aren't to be taken seriously. Any revivification of WW-II as platform for future models is even more worse, it''d be little short of a medical problem, just to close the health circle.

I’m really happy to be a European in the health issue, cos up to a certain extent we’ve indeed the supremacy of a concrete "individual minimal security” over the chimera of a "maximal national security". The shift in the national budget from military to health has btw turned out to be a zero sum game, inasmuch as we share the remaining costs of the former with our European neighbours. Our Queen - she may live long! - who is one of the richest persons in the world, has always favoured such a social model, a workable and successful one. Now, to mismatch social behaviour of a society with socialism is pure facile political agitation directed to fearful people with a socialism phobia. Consequently we understand the US debate as “Socialism paranoia vs. Obama reformism”, apparently supported if not remote-controlled by the Republicans. Whatever the outcome may be – I hope you get a good job for the rest of your life if you aren’t yet rich, cos backward feelings alone don’t aid your family. End and out.
