I'm still waiting for the NZ-mp3-Boom-3G-maori-products. bbc.co.uk (BBC is adapting for 3 to 4G). emusica.ufrn.br 3G is anyway a question of the content?? What about sweden, Abbas and all that stuff, better Boom than any html-Boom, they never went Bust, but recovering extremely well?? en.wikipedia.org In May 2005 Gil was awarded the Polar Music Prize in Stockholm, Sweden. He was the first Latin American recipent of the annual award, which was given to him by the King of Sweden. Gil also performed four songs in an outdoors concert the day before the award show and again at the show with only two songs, accompanied by Jimmy Cliff. gilbertogil.com.br Interesting view on GNU-mp3-copywrongs, that minister Gilberto Gil!!

Is Brazil trying to make the GLobal Carriers go Bust, or does he try to sell some Gilberto-Gil T-shirts?? Any finn would go for the ethanol, ever since we did those forestry pulp-plants up the Amazons and close to China. (sorry, those burning fires over there, they just thought the rain would come, like they always did before) Paper and pens for all kids is another booming business, China too. PS Unluckily they got very short fiber, but fast growing pulp. Playboy still demands long fibers, to get that right glossy gleam, but they are bust anyway, Btw, from this day on the idea of making a handset into a booming-drum-machine, used by all 21 thumbs, is made public, prior art. Do you think Gilberto Gil will have more GNU-success than the "this land, your land" guy?? "This song is Copyrighted in U.S., under Seal of Copyright # 154085, for a period of 28 years, and anybody caught singin it without our permission, will be mighty good friends of ourn, cause we don't give a dern. Publish it. Write it. Sing it. Swing to it. Yodel it. We wrote it, that's all we wanted to do." geocities.com However, I have always had a lot of respect for anyone climbing any high-rise ladder, even a general low-level scaffold. lcweb2.loc.gov Note all the 45.0MHz antennas..

So of course "racial purity" remains in those places while the seething crowds in desirable places comingle. That's what happens when boy meets girl and it's as old as the hills. Yet General Chen tells you looks like divorces are up and NY TIMES post an article that asian births are down - you dispute this? You know more than the NY times and the General? There weren't hordes of English stomping around the world telling the locals what to do every step of the way. ihr.org A Century Ago The Boer War Remembered by Mark Weber The Anglo-Boer War of 1899-1902 was more than the first major military clash of the 20th century. Pitting as it did the might of the globe-girdling British Empire, backed by international finance, against a small pioneering nation of independent-minded farmers, ranchers and merchants in southern African who lived by the Bible and the rifle, its legacy continues to resonate today. The Boers' recourse to irregular warfare, and Britain's response in herding a hundred thousand women and children into concentration camps foreshadow the horrors of guerilla warfare and mass detention of innocents that have become emblematic of the 20th century What about that fine sense of british humor? Even one of thier top comedians still seems so agressive. The red dwarf guy you couldn't trouble yourself with because you don't want to open your mind to possible scenarious that may not agree with your established memes. From GOOG: Was Craig Charles arrested for rape? Yes, but he was cleared of all charges. Charles was arrested in July 1994 when his ex-girlfriend filed rape charges against him. He was tried during February and March of 1995, and subsequently acquitted. The ex-girlfriend withdrew her allegations. Maurice - times are a changing - if someone had filed rape charges against terry gilliam or other monty python folks do you think the police would have arrested them or maybe just went over to their house and had a cup of tea 40 years ago? Christian Slater - he just got arrested because he touched some womens ass at a party - yet I remeber watching Mels Diner and all the guys slapping FLOS ASS saying kiss my grits - amazing how FAST lawyers can turn a society around. Wake up!!

Maurice Re: "British Empire" I have a whole section in my library of British Colonial topics so I am pretty much up to speed. And I have a pretty good collection of British Colonial postage stamps, some from little tiny long ago British possessions I bet you never heard of. <g> So I am well aware of how Colonial India was managed and the scale of the English exposure there and the fact remains that after all that there are no Englishmen there now, and never will be. We are talking math here and like my China example in 1960 there was a single American in the whole country (his name was Sidney Rittenberg) and now there may be a few thousand. But...out of a population of 1.3 billion one or a few thousand is the same number, essentially zero. And the few thousand that may be there now don't really represent a trend, you might look at them as a "one time event" related to Nixon's 1971 visit there. You have a math background, right? In all these very ancient densely populated places like China, India, Indonesia, and many others there has never really been any real assimilation in all the hundreds of years of European exposure. And because all these places are growing in population there is likely to be even less in the future. Sure that has been a little genetic exchange, but really a small amount, and genetics is not the important thing anyway. The important thing is culture. Maurice, it works like this: if you desire to go live in one of these places then not only must learn the language, but you must literally "become one of the natives" and be willing to adopt all their folkways and social mores, if not you will be ostracised. That is a tall order and for various reasons it just doesn't happen. It is really not racism. One really strange fact about the USA Philippine era is that when the Americans first came there there was already a revolution underway against the Spaniards. And the Filipinos had a essentially a "governnment in exile" in Hong Kong and a military and political structure of a sort. These guys met with the Americans in Singapore and later in Hong Kong before Dewey sailed to Manila and sunk the Spanish fleet. And for a time the Americans and Filipinos were allies in their assault on the Spaniards in the Intrumoros. These original Filipino leaders, some who had been at war with the mother country for decades are now the national heroes of the Philippine nation and for a while allies with the Americans. But now the very STRANGE part: each and every one of them were Freemasons, and this in a place where the Spanish colonial authorities executed a person for Freemasonry. The really strange part is that THEY ALL were Masons, even among the American Founders there were a number who were not masons. But the Filipinos, all were, though apparently with no connection to American Masonry as they traced their Lodge origins to the Paris Grand Orient Lodge. Slagle
