My french is really rusty (and I never learned too much really) but I seem to recall naif is for singular and naive is plural, but I may be easily wrong. I remember an interview in 60 minutes to Condy NoRiceForYou some time ago. She was told the afghan embargo killed (hunger) some thousands of children, and was asked if it was worth the cost. She said yes, it is worth it. This leads to two reflections i) you don't have to have fishhooks under your nails to be extremely pressured, and ii) you can't complain if those people decide that killing a few thousands and thrashing a couple of towers is also worth the cost. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
