To paraphrase Harry Reid: They made it back, didn't they? How silly that we take non-serious things so seriously, isn't it? Of course, politics should be silly but it isn't. Best regards, RA1

Usually, people who are confused understand this but, personally, I am pleased that you do not. Best regards, RA1

Some US airlines are using the "eyeball" check, especially on the commuters, to "force" carry on to be checked. Many think it is simply encouragement from management to increase revenue. Best regards, RA1

I personally know some young straight guys from IN that think this law is ridiculous. Our hope for the future is our young guys. Best regards, AR1

mvan1- Thanks for all your posts. There is no such thing as too much detail if it is a subject about which I wish to learn. Many "technical" subjects intrigue me, such as this thread. Please continue any time as you please. I admit to being a frequent hijacker or at least co-conspirator but never with malice aforethought. Only humor, implied or actual. Best regards, RA1

If girls did not give out favors so freely perhaps there would be enough to go around. Best regards, RA1

Wait. Isn't that a three for one? Best regards, RA1

Actually it is the body's immune system that is doing the "work". The polio virus "alerts" the body that it has been "invaded" and then proceeds to attack and destroy the invader as well as the targeted mass. If the polio virus was not genetically modified the body would have more than one problem to deal with. Good and bad are relative terms and often have little to do with perceived reality.

OK. Please, what is it? Best regards, RA1

Or, any other prison. Best regards, RA1

We all have similar wishes but we also need to let our "others" go, do we not? We all shall also go all too soon. Let's pray for one another or so is my hope and wish. Best regards, RA1

But it keeps the shrinks in Cadillacs. Best regards, RA1
