    Didn`t someone just post a study showing that men that hate cats are unsure
    of their manhood?

     Too few people are concerned with the environment today, but, thankfully,
    there are some, and even a few in the right places.
     Have you seen recently that the city of Phoenix is experimenting, on a
    limited scale, with separation of garbage and recyclable trash? The
    surprising part is that the people in the experimental areas are responding
    very positively too the program, and are separating their trash and placing
    the recyclable stuff in separate containers. These containers are then
    picked up on a regular basis, apart from the regular garbage collection.
     Also, Basha's is now using photodegradable plastic bags, ones that will
    deteriorate in the sun. Since the cost is minimal, (2 1/2 cents a bag, as
    opposed to 5 cents for the regular plastic), I wouldn't be surprised to see
    the rest of the markets follow suit. Then all that would need to be done is
    for the city to leave them in the sun for a while and let the process take
    it's course, rather than bury the stuff the moment it hits the landfill.
    One of these days, I'm sure that someone will come along with a
    biodegradable plastic. After all, it has an oil base. It shouldn't be too
    hard, should it?
    I'm with you on this one. We have to leave something for our kids and
    grandchildren to live in. Or on.

    No Bob, we're not talking about the Irish (although the same principle wold
    apply). We are talking about Shiite Muslims, who consider any move against
    Israel, or the great Satan, America, a mission from Allah.
     The Muslim religion, as do most religions, teaches love and peace. It's
    just that those who claim to follow it have strange ways of demonstrating
    their faith. Ways like kidnapping and hanging hostages in the name of Allah.

    Of course you're right - it is people who use free enterprise that destroy
    the environment. Only the home sapians can take something good and totally
    make it bad. If we only believed in moderation! -=*) ANN (*=-

    That's good news Paul. Yes, we should come up with bio-degradable plastic or
    something that will takes it's place. In most stores, you have a choice of
    plastic or paper - but then paper is such a waste too. Of course, at least
    these can be taken back to the store and re-used a couple of times, where
    plastic seems to be no good after one use.
    I read a small article this morning in the paper that was so ridiculous it's
    hard to believe. It is regarding lunch pails - which all use to be metal and
    now they, by law are all plastic. Why you ask? Because a decade ago, a
    mother filed suit in Florida to get them banned because her son was hit in
    the head with a metal one! No matter that a metal one is bio-degradable eh?
    No matter that you can hit a kid in the head with a plastic one and knock
    his brains out too. Can you imagine how long a plastic lunch box would sit
    in the ground? The article went on to say that the last steel version
    featuring Rambo, was pressed in 1987, phasing out the metal models.
    BTW - the woman won the case. -=*) ANN (*=-

    Even the production of "biodegradeable plastic" generates ozone-destroying
    CFCs and consumes petroleum.

    If you want to see some old cars that were made back in the days when cars
    were really cars, come on out to Maryvale Mall this Friday, Saturday, or
    Sunday and see the display of Model A Fords by Phoenix Model A Club.  Also a
    couple of 1932 Fords (Model B and V8, a Model T, and just for fun, a 1934
    John Deere Tractor, all restored)

      For the IBM and clone.  Springboards 'Certificate Maker' 5 1/4 disks.
    This is the latest release allowing it to be used with even HP LASER Jet
    printers...as well as all popular dot-matrix printers.

      I needed the LASER driver, so I bought a newer one so I could update mine.
    I added the driver to mine and am selling the new one for only $20.00, this
    includes manual, registration card and stickers... NOTHING missing!

    Leave me mail or give a call (843-3346)  Cliff

    Oh sure, blame the U.S. and Israel for the terrorists' acts.  That's is the
    typical response of one who fails to see that every individual is
    responsible for their own acts, and must be held accountable for their
    consequences.

    Aside from your disinformation concerning Israel and the U.S., since when is
    anyone justified kidnapping and killing innocents, even if they claim they
    have been wronged?  Somewhat twisted logic, but what else to expect,
    considering the source.  Next you'll declare that, since American Indians
    have valid grievances against past acts of the U.S. government and its
    citizens, that it's OK for a terrorist to grab innocent hostages and demand
    that all non-Indians vacate the North-American continent, or else.  Sure!

            Yeah, I often wonder about our local PBS station, Channel 8.  The
    disinformation they feed us is most probably from some Communist dupe.  I
    guess I won't be telling you what one of their shows relayed about the CIA
    and a well known South American Country.  It's probably just lies, lies and
    more lies.  Thanks for the tipoff.   -Rod

            The human body is biodegradable however most traditionalists prefer
    to contain the corpse in metal coffins after the body is filled with
    a gross liquid.  We is smart, yes we humans is.
