Messiahs, if your out there listening in , please come back soon .... (there's way too much armament over there) People will always go out to see movies, but this re-run of hostilities is really getting old. Time to fast forward and go to a new reel for a change . The New Administration seems to see this too , with all the emphasis on Military build-up. Clear signals , that there is more trouble out there brewing than they wish to admit. Looks like some very serious police actions may be in store for the US and Europe lying ahead. Not a good thing to combine with a dying market...lets hope they/we find a solution.Subject 50522 Let's also hope George Bush is really as good at bringing people together as he says.
