I've always liked fishing and bingo, pulled you right out of the cyberspace ocean. Nothing like mentioning a few longhorn cow-things and women in catratsnake skin leotards to warm the blood of a dinkum Texan. I would send cash, but I only deal in the new Q encrypted cybercurrency which is replacing Alan Green$pan's fiat fantasy which is based on the ability of the USA to control people which will diminish as It looms large. It's funny how the conventional wisdom is that cyberspace, the internet, Web will free the repressed peoples of the wicked Commie swine whereas the cyberspace freedom which people in the West will enjoy is far greater than those in the East will get. The GDP per capita of the USA is about $30,000 or so. xist.org That of China is maybe $3000 and that of India more like $1600. USA people are taxed to about a third of their GDP. Indians aren't taxed much at all [for the most part]. So the USA citizens who can disappear into cyberspace and use Q currency rather than the $ which Alan Green$pan controls and forms the tax base of the USA, can escape a very, very large impost. So the USA is NOT going to allow ANY currency other than their own to exist if they can do anything about it. They will use brute force on Q! if Q! tries to set up shop with a secure currency outside the clutches of the USA tax department. But there is a secret plan and soon the untaxed Q will take over cyberspace. I'll send you piles of dosh then! Globalstar will deliver Q anywhere to anywhere in fully-encrypted cyberspace, totally secure, tax-free, instantaneous and not touching 3D anywhere. Now THAT's freedom. It is NOT the East that needs the freedom and will grab it with both hands. It is the West! So funny that the West thinks It will free the East. It is the opposite. Mqurice PS: Sure, I know about Quicksilver Messenger Service and Happy Trails, released 5 August Y2K. Sure to be their last album. I walked forty-seven miles of barbed wire, I got a cobra snake for a necktie, I got a brand new house by the road side, Made out of rattlesnake hide. I got me a chimney made on top, Made from a human skull, Now come on, take a little walk with me, Now who do you love? Come on Arlene, take me by the hand, Let me know you understand, Who do you love? ... Ride nine times on the midnight train Through the fire and cold rain, Who do you love? ... I've got a tombstone hand in a graveyard mine, Just twenty-two and I don't mind dying, Who do you love? ... Singalong here:jpc.de It knows everything and tells me!penncen.com It told me Thirteenth Floor Elevator is this stuff? Doesn't look like a Texan band to me! Must be a cyberspace glitch. spe.sony.com
