LOL, "What it could be?" Like here? Stewart is certainly right about one thing, "Humans can survive quite a lot of unpleasantness." Just look at the typical SoCal resident. As far as I am concerned most of you guys have crappy lives compared to my poor relatives in the Philippines. At least they are not chained to doggy 9-5 lives, endless mortgages, car payments, and commutes that numb the mind and soul. Strange how comparatively happy (and free) they are in their ignorance of your awesome government coddled superiority. boblq -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
