Been in Sydney. Great town. Bought a house there. The benefits of capitalism [wink] What's the ruckus here?

Conspiracy theory on WTC. Ah, yep. I thought my map had convinced you that there was not much merit to your theory. Cheaper to go other ways to build the pipeline. I guess your responding argument would be that its cheaper for the oil companies to send the US armed forces to the region, than expend their own money - let the taxpayer fork out the cash. In which case I argue that what if it had gone ugly (which is what most commentators - includeing me - were predicting - a quagmire, as it was for the Soviets. The bake 'n' shake solution to Afghanistan surprised the crap out of everyone). Bushie would have lost a war, been discredited, and those damn Dems would have got back into power. Hardly worth the cost of a pipeline.

Can I invite you to SPIT? I posted a link beforehand on the other thread. You too, Kassandra (bsams knows about it already). I'm pimping the forum because if I'm AWOL, someone else can cover for me. We're also talking Marxism there, in the context of capitalism, which is kind of interesting. Funny how cynical everyone is post Enron.
