Paquet was a real trip for sure, the best of all the Winspear stories though was the rumor started by Eric Charters about the RCMP salting the Kimberlite in Yellowknife with those big Snap Lake diamonds...that was good for almost a year....Walt was a truer than life character.

the best thing about all of these political threads is that they serve as a cathartic outlet for some of our inner feelings and by and large we all just use them for ranting.

there is some really deep division presently(most SI forums and all USA) between left and right, mostly brought on by the Bush administrations handeling of Iraq and global terrorism......and ones opinions on the threat of global terrorism and what to do about it.....

for me it has just about come to the point of religious debate, an exercise in futility, you either believe or you don't......

I tend to think in terms of the free and civilized world being accosted by the Islamic radicals of the middle east and elsewhere and where and how do we stop it..... I think of USA as having "drawn a line in the sand" in Iraq.
