On a thread like this all we have to go by is what we read of each other's thoughts. You also have no idea about what I do, and that is not really relevant. What is relevant is foreign policy, and in my view the foreign policy of George Bush is extremely damaging to US national security and to our interests in the world.

Hi chuck; Re: "I have been all over the World several times ..." Radius of world: 6,378 km. Area of world: 500 x 10^6 km^2. Width of human: 0.2 meters. = 2x10^-4 km Speed of SR71: 2200 miles per hour = 4800 kph Time required to be "over all the world" at SR71 cruising speed: 500 x 10^6 /( 2x10^-4 x 4800) = 520 million hours, or about 60,000 years, each "time". -- Carl P.S. Humans are very small. The world is very big. No one but astronauts ever even see the whole world even once, and the astronauts can't see shit from up there.
