Amazing!!! More than a K a second.. I count seconds.. BTW, we visited a new branch of our local library.. A beautiful facility filled with people using it all, internet, sitting rooms, etc. with a great view towards the mountains.. To get some books on tape/cd for an upcoming road trip.. A father was there with her three year old daughter checking out about 8 books.. It was just across the road from a new play field complex, where soccer, rugby, picnics, etc. were going on.. People enjoying life from the mental to the physical... I remarked to my wife, how nice it would be if we took all the "grief money" we are spending in Iraq and spent it on facilities like this across the country.. We couldn't build them fast enough with all those bucks rolling across that counter.. And this would be after some basic needs in the country are taken care of first, HEW type stuff.. Why do some people like to destroy "quality of life" with resources rather than build "quality of life" like the above.. Unfortunately, I know: There is more "wealth" in destruction for a few lost souls than the other.. <bng> c
