Hi Ben, How are you doing? My federal taxes also went up on the local and long distance telephone bills this month. As an individual I feel helpless to do anything with what is going on in Washington at the Federal Reserve, White House and Congress.

Ben, I lived in England and they had to buy a license for "free" tv. And their 4 free stations sucked, bigtime, too. We always see British tv as "good" over here. But we only get the best of the best. You should see the other crap they put on. But they do have nudity, so it's not all bad. Unfortunately, they don't care whether the nekkid women are attractive or not. In fact, they don't even care if they're women. <G> I always loved Swiss tv. The German stations would have the equivalent of Meet The Press. The French stations would have some racy movie. And the Italian stations would have cartoons. No subtle bias going on there. <G>
