| #12 Agreed about the Magic Kingdom, Couth, but if you read the Iraqi bloggers and the blogs of those over there (one version is called "Milblogs," I think) you'll discover that the Iraqis have been mad for participative democracy at all levels from running the local village to electing representatives to the National government. Not uncouth at all, I'm happy to say. |

| #11 However, the recent elections in Iraq and Saudi Arabia did not reveal much support for Western liberty and democracy. Arabs love to wallow in the muck of chaos and mayhem. |

| #7 It's an relationship derived from heel length and ground pressure. But generally a 3 inch heel with a 3 sq. inch landing area is equavalent to a Mechanized Brigade. |

| #4 Ok, all you current/former military types: take out your calculators. Question: how many [units of your choice -- I only know platoons, brigades and divisions] is our new Sect'y of State, Dr. Condoleeza Rice, worth? How much more when she wears a black coat and spike-heeled boots? ;-) |

| #1 sixties people...sing along: Come gather round people wherever you roam And admit that the waters around you have grown And accept it that soon you’ll be drenched to the bone If your time to you is worth saving Then you’d better start swimming or you’ll sink like a stone For the times, they are a changing Come writers and critics who prophesize with your pens And keep your eyes open, the chance won’t come again And don’t speak too soon, the wheel’s still in spin And there’s no telling who that it’s naming Oh the loser will be later to win For the times, they are a changing Come senators, congressmen, please head the call Don’t stand in the doorway, don’t block up the hall For he that gets hurt will be her that has stalled The battle outside ragging will soon shake your windows And rattle your hall For the times, they are a changing Come mothers and fathers all over this land And don’t criticize what you can’t understand Your sons and your daughter are beyond your command Your old role is rapidly aging Please get out of the new one if you can’t lend a hand For the times they are a changing The line, it is drawn, the curse, it is cast The slow one will later be fast And the present now will soon be the past The order is rapidly fading The first one now will later be last For the times, they are a changing |
