So is growing bananas, as well as growing cucumbers in palestine. Ilmarinen Scandinavian countries are thinking about if Sharon-Israel should pay something for both the airport, healthcare facilites, as well as the now rotten, early on confiscated cucumbers on the Ramallah borders. Maybe the WTO has something to say on the cucumbers??

Hi CB, Re: My step-grandmother was in Vista in Honduras for years after her husband died, teaching young, inexperienced mothers how to take care of their babies. That's a revolutionary act. No it wasn't. It was an enabling act. A revolutionary act would have been for her to go there and teach young girls how to avoid making babies who have no reasonable expectation of a good life in Honduras and end up coming to LA to lower the wage scale. Teaching and enforcing birth control would have been revolutionary in her circumstances, not aiding and abetting unconsidered and "natural" behavior, without regard for consequences.

Speaking of Columbia~this on AOL top news now: Colombian Presidential Candidate Disappears BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) - A Colombian presidential candidate who is a severe and outspoken critic of leftist rebels at war with the government was reported missing Saturday. Ingrid Betancourt, a former senator, had set off by car for San Vicente del Caguan, a town that was held by the rebel group known as the FARC until earlier this week when the military retook it. Colombia's government said in a statement that it had warned Betancourt not to make the trip because it was too dangerous.
