The Barnet Motor Inn- now there is a classy place.

Isn't that where the ladies who are no longer able to work at the Cobalt go ?
I am waiting for some guy who is a recarnation of someone lets say Captin Cook who meets the recarnation of the guy who eat him and then desides to lay charges for wrongfull death or some such thing. The court case would provide hours of entertainment.

I bet ya there are lawyers in this country who would take tha case........... and courts who would listen.

what a world

I have found a delightful SF writer- James Alan Gardner- and his latest- Ascending-very fun and thought provoking. Great reading for anyone in the mid teens to having both legs in the coffin.

softwood lumber issue revisited:

Message 16724611

The lumber thing is odd because it seems to be a bit of "free enterprise policy making" ..... I voted in favour of Mulroney's free trade platform in the hopes it would protect us from US swamp water politicians.....

I am a big believer in free enterprise and free trade. The Canadian government should find out how much the market will bear for the price of gas. Also, if the Canadian government doesn't act to put an initial US$5.00/mcf tariff on natural gas exports, Canada is at risk of American energy producers crying foul that subsidized Canadian natural gas is depressing the price of natural gas in America. With such a tariff in place, then the Canadian government could review the situation every few months and increase the export tariff by an additional 12% to 30% until exports diminished. Something should be done before Canadians are accused of dumping cheap natural gas into the US market:-))

RE: The guy who needs a strip-tease like he needs a hole in the head: ROTFLMAO!

... perhaps this would get us in the back pages of some obscure US publication, and begin the process of bringing to the attention of the average decent US-resident human being the fantastic problem he has with corruption down there in his Capitol ... [pardon me, but they do spell 'capital' funny like that]

That's a capital idea, Marcos. < ggggg >

Some of us down here already know how much corruption we have in the Capitol. Unfortunately, the rest of us vote their wallet...some things are the same everywhere, eh?

Speaking of corruption: just send Mr. Bonnett down our way; I'm sure there are a few thousand trial lawyers who would salivate at the chance of taking his "worthy" case.
