Ain't the Quran wonnerful?

The Stalinists on the left ceaselessly out themseles.

Joe's solution to serious political debate is to silence those who dare to disagree with him.

Yeah, I sure wat to live in a country governed by the principles of Joe and his ilk.

She was subsidized you idiot.

But bike messenger customers did not say we stunk, and the dispatchers did not say we stunk, and the people for the other company (including their shippers) who had most of the space in the building (and gave us many of our deliveries) did not say we stunk.

And non-bike-commuting portion of the sandwich shop people where I do the sandwich delivery job and their customers don't say we stink.

Oddly enough, neither is Long *Island*, but Joe never lets facts get in the way of his fervid delusions.

maybe they just figured it was your natural state? ;-) Of course,many people,especially these days,will not voice their beefs,as it often brings adverse reactions.

Not brought up by the stuffy stuffed-shirts most stuffy law firm among the messenger customers that was willing to complain about bicycle messengers with visibly mismatched socks.

And the messengers were required to wear long pants rather than shorts by the messenger firm that I worked for then, even on every July and August weekday with whatever weather downtown Philadelphia gets that time of year. Having to wear long pants on a 95-99 degree F day with tropical humidity was addressed more by the bosses (they reinforced requirement to wear long pants) than body odor except to one misfit who failed to keep his job too long there in large part to wearing clothes with stale old sweat. And certainly some of the printing/publishing firm employees upstairs that enough of the messengers went to innorder to deliver incoming packages or to pick up outgoing ones complained about dress, appearance, behavior, and sanity of the messengers both generically and specifically as in specifically to specific individuals but did not complain about odor thereof!

Fresh sweat by fit individuals who are expert at sweating and wearing clothes lacking stale sweat has a high rate of not stinking! Even has a pretty good rate of not changing from non-stinking to stinking within 8-10 or so hours for that matter!

Matches your credibility level.

Of course ifyou want to seea really safe and well run nuclear power pogram, look at the US Nay.

Makes the civilian commercial power reactor programs look poitiively Evel Knevil-ish.

Well, they're two _totally_ differing environments and there are essentially no constraints in terms of cost on the military side so it's hardly a fair comparison. Not to say anything against Adm Rickover's legacy (after all, we built all their fuel for them in Lynchburg) but just not the same animal--might as well compare a commercial airliner w/ a stealth bomber for radar evasion effectiveness.

Thats what I've see, too. The LED "bulbs" *CURRENTLY AVAILABLE* are energy hogs; have poor color rendition and are expensive

Hopefully three deficiencies will be remedied over time.

It would certainly function as a peninsula, in the event of an evacuation. But, you already knew that.

Not surprisingly, you can't offer an example.

Wha's this "we" s*it, Kimosabe?

You are wearing what uniform and on active duty with which branch of the US armed forces.

Yeah, thats what I thought.

Just exactly how much LSD did you take before posting THAT?

You're the queen of useless posts today, aren't you? Is this the best you can do, obsessing about words like "we", instead of the substance of the message?

Message?

Substance?

You?

Now that at least is funny and mildly entertainng.

Thank you for proving my point. You are afraid of dealing with substance. Why is that? What conflict frowned upon in your family? Were you taught to keep quiet to avoid being slapped around by one of your "fathers"?

What part of Redfels post has anything to do with "...psychotic trolls..."?

Where I live, Portland, Oregon, the local mass transit agency, Tri-Met makes no bones about the failure of the farebox to actually pay for the service. Tri Met reports that less than 20% of costs are paid by he farebox.

The rest comes from a special income tax on all businesses within the Tri Met operating area (major parts of 3 counties), whether those businesses are actually on Tri Met lines; have employees who ride Tri Met, or have customers who ride Tri Met to the business.

Having lived in three major cities (NYC; Boston, D.C.) with real transit systems (Portland does not have a _real_ transit system) I have never seen a transit system that actually operates on fare box revenue. Every transit system I've requires a general tax revenue stream to operate it, and that tax stream comes predominately from non riders.

Whether using a dedicated tax revenue stream coming predominately from non riders to subsidize operation of a mass transit system is good public policy or not is a whole other debate, and not on topic in alt.home.repair.

Its sad that you consider a simple, true, factual statement to be a "... psychotic troll...".

Then you'd be even more of a fool than you routinely demonstrate yourself to be. Light rail doesn't work as mass transit No capacity, no speed.

Heavy rail works.

Busses work very very well.

Light rail is a farce.

You don't mind paying for the invasion of the wrong
