Not to rub salt in old wound, you remember the pats bills game in 98...........Bills leading the game late in the fourth quarter, drew throws a hailmary in the endzone, terry glenn jumps up along with bills defenders for the ball, incomplete.....Wait , a yellow flag is tossed?, thats right, defensive interference called on a hailmary? Yep, pats get a first down on the goal line and drew tosses a touchdown to coates....The best part was wade phillips pulls his team off the field before the extra point is kicked... meanwhile end of game is in limbo , so the crowd leaves foxborough stadium, then finally pats lineup for the extra point, and toss a 2 point conversion,succesfully........Of course the bills never came out of the locker room to defend the extra point attempt....This was shown on tv up in newengland, the cameras showed a empty stadium, as the play unfolded...Wins a win, plus the extra points were needed just in case of settling a tie to get in the playoffs....WHOOOOOOOOO, were the bills steamed especially reed? any way that was a good game.......

If your house house is only 50 yards from the conneticut river, lookout your window towards the river, right now there are millions of babyruth's migrating back to the sea. The curse of the bambino right bact at yah

Your obviously dissatisfied with the yankees performance against the chi sox. And that the locals in your area know you hate the redsox and their whiney fans, and lately you have been getting swamped by the sunami waves, passing cars have generated whenever they see you making another beerrun on your bicycle.... Those winter time slush sunami's have to be some cold heavy waves ..... Lookout for those 18 wheelers

Hi, I have been there, it's has fantastic mountain scenery and some indian shop's selling hand crafted ware's.... I do not know your purpose for going to cherokee, I went for the smokies..... There is a road that leads to the smokee park from cherokee, it's called newfound gap, I believe it maxes out in elevation at 5000 feet, before you descend into tennesee.....Beautiful southern appalachain area, for outdoor enthusiast, trout fishing, hiking,observing wildlife, and fall foliage is amazing as it takes over the mountainside's....There is a casino and little tourist strip, and if you consume intoxicant's it's a dry town, closest source was 30 miles away at the piggly wiggly...That newfound gap road will take you to gatlinburg tennesee, tourist mecca....Enjoy, and if doing the park, cades cove is historical and is like being in a marlin perkins wildlife kingdom episode..........

I am sorry for that nonsence post. I should have refrained from adding all that garbage,and instead offered any helpfull information, and said you would be in my thought's and prayer's.... No matter your faith,political belief's, and other difference's.... Again my sincerest apologie's, goodluck and godbless....

First let me apologize, for my immature post's...I am the type who enjoy's stupid humor, and some of the responce's you were recieving, I couldn't restrain myself, hell I heard the dog's of war, and joined the pack, although as a laughing hyena... I will say this if you lose everything, but are still alive,the bible will enlighten you to your predicament, and a new path to take...Hey man tobaco road is not that bad, just do not expect handout's, and be upset because, the offering is not big enough...You have to realize, your life may have to changed due to the storm and it's possible destruction of your home...I for instance have no health insurance, I do not go to the hospital for injuries I may be able to repair myself.... As you know people been walking the rock, for thousand's of year's and learned basic health remedies that work today....When I cut myself at work, I use super glue to seal the wound, before suture's, people used sap...Yes I could have went to the hospital and spent $500.00 easy...And added that to my budget, and further erode my chance's of qualifying for a loan, for anything I may need to survive, the way I coexist now....So brother if thing's go south in the south,and you lose every thing, I will say sorry to hear that, and at the same time welcome you to tobaco road, only thing you need is food, and the determination to carry on...What I am telling you brother, if your down and troubled and need a helping hand, be prepared to make do without the house,vehicle, and all the trapping's that go with it, because their gone, and the gov't ain't going to bring them back...So lie down in the backyard and watch the storm band's circleling counterclockwise, and take a pull of the bottle, and either, do a no more hurricane dam yankee southern dance, and did I ever tell ya I went to lot of dead shows and sometime's I think, Im still there...Anyway let me focus, and say dam man, life will will throw ya some knockout's once in awhile, so getup, and do not talk your kind of politic's on a political board that has a different political philosphy then you, and become defensive.... And realize I am just being a goofball and giving you some good advice, Is make do with what you have and cherish your family,and all that other stuff, is just stuff, it is just a illusion, to seperate you from your family, you do not need all that... So throw the dam computer out the window, and fill up the backpack, cuz it sound's like you are about to become a vagabond, enjoy the adventure....And I am packing up my truck and goin south, sound's like alot of work in the future, and it is starting to get slow up here....Im goin to be a dam yankee too, You said contractor's charging $11.000 for a one day job, dam, going get me some of that....Rekon I'll see ya soon, cuz I need the money to buy a lexus hybrid worktruck, inorder to bring down my fuel cost in these costly time's....

Yes that post was a bunch mularkey, #1 Im a stoner, loser, burnout,irish catholic ,patsy troll, who was raised in the ruin's of 70's boston.... And when getting pummeled going to school and back home cause of forced bussing you learn thing's.... #2, do not compare your philosphy, of the way thing's should be, amongst other's, when they have a different outlook, especially after you lit and thrown your molotive cocktail ...They will not respond nicely to ya cracker....Point is you posted about your differences and how you felt about them, politcally speaking. Then you get geographical,north/south,with taxes and money and blah blah blah.... Then you say the bill's aren't even worth watching due to your percieved outlook on the team.... At this point all you got is god, and since im a catholic ,I would tell ya to say alot of hailmary's, because ya going to get jumped, #3 next time ya going to tell me to find the bible, I did, king james, still read it, although I know longer attend church, what are you trying to say, I need your version to be a more compassionate human being ? My family donated to bush/clinton nola fund... And then you bring up the oil issue, I asked about that issue, around here... that's a hot potatoe, best left to the buisnessmen and the consumer to resolve the $3.oo a gallon and climbing.... At least I asked nicely, I only messed up with wording, ''gov't solution's '' and basically that is democratic solution and you will be taxed ,so in the end you pay, so that logic is illogical....That's why im a cat hunter, because I used to spend $60. a week to run my work truck, now $200. plus a week, heating oil used to pay $500 now $ 2ooo plus, except now I burn wood, and now hunt cat's to fuel my chevy....yeah I know that's barbaric, look at my screen name, you say it's spelled wrong, scroll up to #1....So you get $5.ooo, buy a airmattress, fishingear, and when the flood's come you can float and sleep, and go fishing for sailcat's...what's a sailcat you say, you will like this... A gift from the god's, huh you say, first good protein, second when thing;s look bad, lick the skin, it's a hallucigenic , that will alter your perception of sky and land, well it's better then 90 degree beer... then look at the bottom of the skull , there is a image of jesus with a sword....downsouth they call it a jesusfish, fish and game terminology''sailcatfish''.... I see a possible religious entreprenuial venture in the making, my vision is a southern wide tent revival babptist tour selling lick's of hullicigenic catfish, then make something of the skull, image of jesus, probally will end up on a shelf in walmart....Now your financial worries are over.....Dang my own bathtub hooch is top shelf, allhhhright flatlander godbless and goodluck, and goodnight, cuz my irish mellon is swelling and the liver is a quivering, zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Your post was interesting, goodluck to you and the rest of the people in the path of the storm....Let me ask ya something, you ever walk into a neighborhood at night and say oh oh,dam I am way in over my head, outnumbered, wrong skin color,and all eye's on ya... that's what this remind's of....Now the advice, I will offer based upon me growing up in a city segragated upon ethinicity, and highly flamable, do not light a match that will show the color of your skin, and your only escape is your two feat and your lung's to power them... So drop the match and run forest run....Hey man, seriously goodluck, keep your chin up, and remember if you get flooded out ,do not swim with a chum bag, you attract the shark's...And ya I heard of oil, so what ya saying price going up, that story is has been ongoing now for awhile, I pay $ 3.oo a gallon... What your situation going to up it, big deal, I have been kiling cat's after my day job, and throwing em in the cat bio diesel resevior I constructed in the back yard.. I have a bait pile, and a cast nest... Free bait behind the supermarket.... I scouted the area, and set up a blind... been harvesting 10 a day. 10 squeezed cat's yield's 3 gallon's cat bio diesel, so far I have a 250 gallon tank filled. Im prepared so bring the higher gas price's...Lookit this way, no power for a couple a week's, hence lower electricity bill, more money in your pocket, put that toward's flood insurance, new mortgage,or the new south, goin to do it again campaign..You moved south, now your a dam yankee, then you jaw your up some help, federal gov't help, sounding like a dixiecrat, on a , let's say nom democratic, basically yankee, bill's dominated message board, and you do not even give the bill's any respect.... You sure sound ripe, to be a suicide bomber........

Sound's like your living in hell.....Im a pat fan who lived in other area's of the country and enjoyed the rivalry with fan's of other team's.... In north carolina gotta love the pulled pork barbeque's and my new england recipe's I cooked up along with a great game and verbal jousting made it more entertaining, of course the pat's won .... A few year's before that I was in tennesse I had same goodtime in knoxville as I did in N.C, Pat's were just 9 and 7 that year, hell we lost that game...Tenneseean's are unbelievable volunteer's of their well, volunteer's..... That was impressive seeing those orange flag's everywhere... anyway I just enjoyed those type's of situation's more....Excuse the babaling like a babolonian,Im not your typical newenglandah who lived within 60 mile's of M.I.T and harvard and think IM smahht cuz of the proximity to those school's.... I think that what your hating is the people and rightfully so, there is some notorious attitude's in that area of the country....So enjoy the no income and sale's tax benefit and remember it's Newhampsha long dark winter's, and it took 86 year's year's for the sox and 40 year's for the pat's for these people to go nut's, so let em, someday you will too... And I will be cheering for ya team while Im chowing down chickenwing's and having genesee cream ale.... sincerely a patsy troll who will soon contribute a recipe, and oh yeah you apparentlyou have to deal withpressure to your son... man oh man, the kid will be dropping the r'sssssss and be hooking school and sitin in fenway before you know it... Hey goodluck this season .....

Trip's are planned, so we do not back track wasteing time and gas..Material's are unloaded on average 400lb.s a job, after 3 job's all that excess weight is off the truck... Basically the market in general has changed, I'm sure there's a nich'e type work that I could look into and roll the bone's and hope it doesn't come up snakeye's... Remember that word outsourceing, I'm talking about insourceing at least in my type of work.... I do not see the gov't stopping the flood of illegal's coming in, for whatever reason, they are driving the labor price down and high gas price's is quite a combination...Like I said before I am just whining, the industry has changed and I know you got to roll with the punche's, that is just a nasty combination.. I am just sounding off my grievence's of high gas price's and the invasion of illegal's , and I don't live in a southern state bordering mexico... It feel's like there is a sign at the border saying help wanted come on in.... hell I might as well say time to pound the clavos....At least that problem I would think the gov't should intervene, but appear's they didn't on that one,anyway manana is another dias

Chevy 1 ton van, carrying 3/4 ton tool's and material's... Sometime's 3 different job's a day any where from a 100 to 200 mile's a day.... As a sub contractor, we are paid a set rate. With increased competition , cheaper labor due to a lot of illegal's around construction job's, raising our pay is not that simple...For instance even a sub crew driving down the street can stop at convience store next to a labor pool ''labor camp'' pickup as many loborer's as they want, pay each one $5o for the day, hence lowering lowering their overhead and that is how they make up for the increase $gas....And the company's selling the material's or general contractor's do not have to raise their price's and charge the customer's, because the crew's ability to find cheaper ''illegal labor'' ...It seem's like the last few year's illegal's have made construction job's along with $3.20 a gallon gas not worthwhile...Even I am able to speak spanish now, and I went to public school and took shop classe's not language classe's...AHHHH I am just whining, whew this line of work changed changed last few year's...

Thank youI read the thread, just that issue was pissing me off, 3 tank's a week...Now I really do not want the gov't involved anymore then they are if it's going to cost more.... On the other hand if they can help, ahhhhhhhhh at this point were stuck dang it...Ok we ride this one out until either the price's come down or technology improves consumption.... It was nice while it lasted ...

What's your point... She is politician, or quasi politician who is probally way more finacially stable then your average lunch toting pounding nail's worker....I do not know anything about her other then she ran for gov. job in ca. and emphasized driving a fuel economy vehicle to win the job...So now she bomb's around in a tank promoting enviroment issues...Yeah that's typical, Man in my job in certain town's we work for people that are wealthy, fancy car's and truck's in the four bay garage in this house never mind the private plane to fly to the second house and put around the ocean in the mini yaht all the while having to deal with hector the gardener and rosie the house cleaner,and me trying to pound a nail to make a 1$ and meanwhile hector's brother juan trying drive the price of my labor down, along with oil industry shakeing me down at the pump more and more every year...Nothing against these people they made their money buy and spend on whatever they want, hell I feel for em ,I walk in their house with blue jean's a white tee shirt workboot's and cheap deodorant bought at the dollarstore so they don't have to smell my caveman musk, and god forbid pee in the toilet....these type's of people are way different then us and have different cause's to promote....hell if she had a cat, and I had the cat juice combustion motor, that cat probally by accident bumbed into my nailgun and got tossed in the cattank, not a cat person, and at this point the only advice she would offer about the gas price is buy a lexus hybrid with non animal skin 55 multiple seat adjustable position's with 25 cup holder's.....Sorry about that just the way it is... at least for us lower class life form's... who have seen the price of gas triple in four year's and have seen it before and are hopeing to see it again, go down... with hopefully rational and economicle ideas that won't take the rest of the decade to resolve....wishful thinking?

The president's hydrogen fuel project, is the project for the future.... I know next to nothing about it, sound's like a great alternative....Supposedly no pollution out the exhaust, mid east oilneed's greatly reduced, I love the idea....The idea going to work, with all the necessary changes, refitting gas station's, autoplant's, etc...President carter had energy issue's to deal with,and I remember he proposed alternative's, the one we used right away was the sweater,higher mpg vehicles, and reduced demand, price's came down...As for his and other people's alternative idea's some of them are around solar car's like the one's they put around mit in the 80's have turned into the prius, excellent still took 25 year's ....As for me buying fuel efficent lexus work van's, prius hybrid, right now unaffordable, hell I bought a woodstove to save money and I will, except the cordwood price has jumped $120.00 a cord to $300.00 plus....workingman's blue's...firewood the new blackgold,get ya coming and going, I wonder what the price of plywood will reach due to the gulf storm... Anyway back to oil issue it look's like we will ride this one out untill enough of the public say otherwise, it appear's...The cause of the spike to me is the iraq war, dammed if we do dammed if we don't at this point, That is my opinion, price of war when that culture control's the oil ...Just like the wood dealer seen the oppritunity to up the cordwood price from $120.ooto $300.00 a cord, plywood will do the same similar to what happened in andrew what was the price then $50.oo a sheet ..Yeah I know it's a whine ... what are the remedies to bring the cost down,

Return key yeah I use that on my royal typewriter,wich is appropiate for my responce.... Remember the stories from older generation's comparing today's price's with yesterday's ....I like the 80 cent's a candy bar , I remember when I was a kid, 1945 they cost 10 cent's , a sixty year span.... I was talking to a 18 year old kid at the gas station and told him I remember $1.20 a gallon gas it cost about $25.00 to fill the tank, and to heat my house use to cost me $600.00 today $2000.00 ,I am sure he will respond when was that in the 80's, and I will respond yeah 80's 90's early 2000's yeah about 4 year's ago....Excuse the rant and lame humor, my point is sudden increase, not long and gradual increase ....Your example of the consumer's demand changing the market gradually will lower fuel cost gradually.....Sometime's intervention is necessary, if this is possible in this situation,maybe there is nothing that can be done and we well accept the cost as permanent and wait for the prius van to haul my material's and tool's uhhuh that's coming, better invent my clubbed squeezed cat bio fuel combustion motor, so I can get my gas bill for my work truck under $200.00 a week...All jokeing aside I sure would like to see some kind of responce or as you said the market will solve the issue.... dear automaker's please make a 1 ton fuel efficient van that 4 year's ago cost me $60 a week to operate and now cost $200 ........

HI folk's, again you all have a good site, yeah even the political board I rather read this board then some other's...Other board's have to much left right fight and lack knowledgeable and insightful reading..... My question is what if anything can the gov't do to address the growing fuel price's....We have seen the price go from$1.10 to $3.20 a gallon in 4 year's.... This happened before and the gov't stepped up to the plate and addrressed the problem successively...I was young but I remember the spike in the 70's, and the fix higher M.P.G. between the gov't and datsun better fuel economy and the price went down.....short spike in fuel price's in 91 due to the gulf war went up to $1.38 with in a year $ 1.10 stayed that way to the summer of 2000 ,went up $1.38 I think the fix was releasing the reserve's political move for gore probable? Since that point and the war in iraq it has gone up and the only solution's were drill in alaska, shotdown due to the enviroment? isn't that a longterm project meaning result's 10 year's away, hydrogen like the idea, again longterm 30 year's maybe? higher m.p.g. proposed shotdown in congress? due to the economy.... okay do they try that one again because the economy is allright and goodluck to the dealership's selling those tank's... I believe as long as were in iraq, and china is america's walmart ... world demand and opec retalliating? due to the war in iraq... The gov't need's to provide afeasible and expedient solution to the table ,least that's what I hope for.... as for my contribution to cut back on fuel, less driving, bougt a woodstove, no way was I going to pay double or triple on homeheating oil this year that would be almost $2000 more than last year...Or this is the way it is now and just expect fuel to remain three times as high and that was then this is now mentality is the best way to approach the issue.... I think I will remain optimistic about the issue and see what transpires in congress.... Because this winter is going to be expensive for people to the point of decision's being proposed and made......any idea's to this issue

Did not know that, allway's enjoyed that song.. seen him in concert a few times, if you like acoustic and folksy blues ,I wonder if will be seeing him perform this song soon along with many other muscian's to generate charity fund's for alot of people that will need it...This is going to take a united effort to overcome this disaster...Well I just might look in to relocating in L.A OR MISS. they will definately need tradesmen to rebuild their town's and city's .... all this ramblin waiting on the answer to the original singer.......to the south your in my thought's.......

Riding on the city of New Orleans Illinois Central, monday morning rail 15 cars and 15 restless riders three conducters 25 sacks of mail. All along the southbound odyssey the train pulls out of kankakee rolls along past houses, farms and fields passing graves that have no name ,freight yards full of old black men and the grave yard of rusted automobiles. good mornin' America how are ya? Don't you know me? I'm your native son . I'm the train they call the city of New Orleans, I'll be gone 500 miles when the days is done. Dealing cards with the old men in the club car, Penny a point,Ain't no one keepin score pass the paper bag the holds the bottle and feel the wheels rumblin neath the floor And the sons of Pullman porters and the son of engineers Ride their father's magic carpets made of steel. Mothers with there babies asleep rockin to the gentle beat and the rythm of the rails is all they feel. Good mornin America, How are ya? Say don't you know me I'm your native son I'm the train they call the city of New Orleans. I'll be gone 500 miles when the day is done Night time on the City of New Orleans Changing cars in Memphis , Tennessee Halfway home we'll be there by mornin thru the Mississippi darkness rollin' down to the sea But all the towns and people seem to fade into a bad dream And the steel rail still ain't heard the news the conductor sings his songs again The passengers will please refrain: This train got the disappearin railroad blues. Good night America, how are you? Say don't ya know me I'm your native son. I'm the train they call the city of New Orleans. I'll be gone 500 miles when the day is done I have not commented on the situation and I will not now...... except to say some of what I have seen and heard on television and on message boards and around town, and tonight shepard smith on hannity and colmes on the fox news channel tried to explain to sean about the checkpoint on the bridge leading out of town, and he reported the personell told the people trying to leave New Orlean's to turn back !!! Unfortunately there was'nt more detail's to that little tid bit, apparently sean wanted perspective on truck detail's, and shepard said ''perspective'' and then just went slack jawed... we report you decide......I AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH WOW is all I have to say .... I am praying for the south and this country...

I would invest in solar panel's, if I felt comfortable with are they going to work up here in the northeast during the winter when we have a lot of overcast day's, and the possibility of the economy slowing down due to the fuel cost, hurricane disaster making a bad situation worse ,I do not want to risk investment,that may hurt more than it help's.... As I mentioned in my previous post this remind's of the recession in the early nineties and I witnessed foreclosures, because people could not pay the mortgage and they sell their house at $50.ooo loss they are responceble for /bankruptsy .......So being stuck in the proverbial rock and a hard place I will purchase a woodstove,made that decision after I drove by the gas station today and regular gas $3.80 and I would say home heating oil will follow, so as for a projected $700.00 increase this year , right now that seem's premature....I know europe was paying approximately $ 4.oo agallon when we were paying $1.20 four year's ago, so what the hell they paying now $7.oo....I know what I want for christmas, gift certifacate's to a gas station.... unbelievable,

This hurricane that wiped out the gulf states and the ability to refine fuel and deliver to the rest of the country is sending fuel prices up, way up. I am seriously looking into a woodstove to heat the home, because the fuel cost with oil is going beyond my mean's financially!! The people down south I hope will recover from this storm and they will, New Orlean's unfortunately appear's to be ruined and will take year's to be rebuilt ?? As for moving south to reduce my heating cost, or a woodstove, solar panel's nice idea, I do not know the cost to buy and setup, and maybe the solution longterm as far less labor to heat the house and overall cost compared to a woodstove....I understand most people are watching the situation in New Orlean's right now, and no doubt it's destroyed as with those people's live's but not to sound callous I think this catostrophy along with escalating fuel price's is going to change this country for better or worse!!! We have had it pretty good now for 15 year's ,yeah I know we had a recession in the early 90's and 2001 till 2004, this last one was not too bad, at least in my line of work I have been busy, low mortgage interest rates kept house building job's employed....This look's familiar to the eighties when the housing prices went wayup and then collapsed due to speculators in realestate and the stockmarket ,and when that bubble burst we gradually went into country wide recession...It seem's we are going the same route again. Housing market's are wayup and speculation is rampant...I am no economist,it just seem's familliar. I hope this storm is not the catalyst I think it is.....If this country doesn't find a way to slow the cost of fuel and fix whatever they say is the problem,supply,refining capability,or in my opinion the people pumping the oil out of the ground and gouging us, their only way of retribution to us for attacking iraq along with our severly limited refining capabilities now due to the storm....I hope I am wrong and these comparison's do not result in a reccesion,because that one in the early nineties was bad...I say to myself you just pound nail's for a living and the people with the college degree's running the town's,the states,the country will be able to steer this in the right direction... I think the situation we are now in is like being at the precipice ,right now is the time for the goverment, the citizen's of this country to be prepared a little bit better... And I will do that by trying to elimanate or conserve my use of oil,to heat my house, unfortunately I need to run the work van, can not do my job without it, Other then that it's up to oil buisness to reign in the price allready,come on we have seen the price of gas go from $1.20 a gallon to $3.30, in four year's,when is the price going to stabilize or go down.... Or maybe this is the way it is now and I should quit complaining and move to the amish tradition of horse and buggy....

Last year's cost to heat my home cost me $800.oo, and that's itth thermostat set at 62 degree's and wearing sweaters.... I had to fill my oiltank four time's, each one costing $200.00.......Two week's ago I filled the oiltank and it cost $400.oo, and I will easily need to do it three more times at that rate cost will be $1600.00 this year......Now with this hurricane that hit monday gas in my area went from $2.70 a gallon to $3.20 a gallon, home heating oil going up to what and for how long??? I grimaced at the thougt of paying $1600.00 and now I see that's the least I will pay...Hey man, between my work van costing $150.00 a week in gas, and my home heating bill doubling and hopefully not trippling,I will need to takeout a loan to heat my house....... I Will need to cut further my spending in order to maintain the house, or sell the house and move south to a warmer climate,because this is becoming a joke.......

Yes that was a good post. I am finally starting to find some justifacation to the war in iraq....I did not support the iraq war,because to me the some of the reason's for the war were untrue,enough for me not to support it. I think your post changed my perception of the iraq war,and the administration has to do better job of promoting the war...Thank's again for the insight

I remember on the football board, the horrible human being thread, these people protesting their belief's that the war is based on a lie in front of a hospital with injured soldiers, needs a thread to describe like said thread, or just nancy kerrigan them all ''whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy'' no offence nancy! We are lucky to be citizens of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA...If these people could stand in the soldier's shoes, unfortunately humbling experiences, can not be enforced!!!!!!!! Like a rolling stone........

A responce from a highschool dropout,employed in the building trades.I thought from the begining, wmd scenario was a stretch,by the way it was being told to the public. Although I did not believe the ''nuke story'' and the drone planes, I did believe the chemical weapons were there. And it appears they destroyed them,due to the agreement from the last war we waged on iraq,or their hidden or moved. Now you would believe they they would use the chemicals with the mortars they launch at the american's. Thankfully that has not happened.Do I believe that iraq will be transformed into a democracy, no. Yeah I understand were building road's school's hospital's. Do I believe this war will prevent future attack's, from a another small militarized country, yeah.. Otherwise we will dominate.So hopefully the lesson that we displayed in iraq will show these countries that if you allow these types of organizations to function like they were in afghanistan, your done. Because BOMBING caves and mudhuts and controlling small villages is not sending a terrifying enough message !!! Will this make the U.S. safer,yeah. So in the end the message is do NOT mess with the U.S. good philisophy. Iraq deserve it???? Hopefully when their country recovers, and what faction rules,will be less insane then saddam.King of the hill is tough position to be in,always has always will. Now the question everyone's asking when will fuel prices go down. I say when we pullout of iraq, or the situation there settles down? I believe the only way that situation resolves is we back away with the satisfaction that the world know's we will not tolerate terrorist attack's.Although it seem's the message the middle east is giving in response is you want the oil, the price is going up. $2.70 a gallon, will probally go to $3.a gallon. We will get use to paying this amount, no choice.What was the price of gas before the war $1.20 a gallon ,we will never see that again.The best we can hope for is more fuel efficient motor's,and eventually elimanate oil as a fuel. Hopefully this is the push to seriously find alternitave fuel. As for alqueda man i hope we keep hunting them, to the point of extinction. History will record it and unfortunately it will come down to religon ,muslim's against christian's. Same argument different millenium!!! Meanwhile in the end that oil keep's this country powerfull milatarily and socially. And the first gulf war was about oil,yeah I know we liberated kuwait,it was still protecting the flow of oil. It's allway's about the money..... Meanwhile why the hell are we in iraq????? needfull thing's. Just the way it is......wasn't henry david thorough who wrote about being a glutton when he lived in a cabin in the wood's on walden pond........humun nature.. HEY you people have a great site here,thankfull for the opprutunity to post...Glad I live in america , we are lucky to live in such a country...

My cousin fred resolved this issue by telling wilma to start helping to kick in with him. Remember in 1989 price of gas $.1.oo a gallon ,your basic 3 bedroom house $ 100.000......... 1999 GAS $1.1O a gallon your basic 3 bedroom house $150.000......2005 gas $2.70 a gallon your basic 3 bedroom house $220.ooo.Bottom line a scooter and a cave ungabunga!!!!!!
