This is correct.  Bunny boots, with the valve stem, are the warmest boots there are.  
Sometimes they are also called Mickey Mouse boots because they look so much like the 
shoes that Mickey Mouse wears.

John's explained it in another post. I had no idea they existed. Our military
wears a mukluk-sized boot  that comes to just below the knee, but if it has fur
or an airpocket lining I wouldn't know. It's just a big, padded-looking affair
that's white and isn't laced, but strapped.

No, the ones with the stuffed imitation bunny head on the _outside_, not
the ones with the bunny fur (fake or not) on the inside.

Hmm, that could be a good thinkI'll have to think about that!


 Besides, you are very different than an American liberal. They respond
 totally by expressing feelings (I feel your pain), while you back
 yourself up with lots and lots of documentation


I don't feel back pain, I give it (the documentationsorry, it's the best I
could come up with on short notice)


 So, while you aren't as conservative a JWR, you definitely are no Bill
 Clinton, either


It really is hard to compare. Mark Gregson is considered quite conservative here
(I don't think I'm hanging laundry in public -- he's reluctant to discuss
politics while he's serving as bishop, but I don't think this is any big secret,
either -- but he can always correct me (he's bigger than me and sees me many
Sundays anyway)). But his stance on things like the military-industrial complex
would make many conservatives in the US doubt his credentials so to speak.

Do you know the history of Lebanon? Do you know how it came to be created? If
you've studied Syria's history you probably know about Hama, which is a pretty
good example of being pretty ruthless, to say the least, but do you know why
