foreign oil producers and causes the “need” for Big-Stick diplomacy.
Unfortunately we are about to come to a critical fork in the road.
The people who will profit the most will be pushing the idea that we must
reduce or remove all environmental constraints on energy suppliers to help
us achieve independence and keep our economy working. This will help make
many of them even richer and will shorten the time before we completely run
out of US oil reserves, but will also cause tremendous health issues and
will result in serious environmental impacts. Some of this already started.
Only a national level push for new energy sources and energy independence,
similar to the 1960s push to go to the moon, will help us now.
That plus having a White House and Congress that actually cares more about
saving our economy then their personal wealth.
Genewhat's even better is that no one seems to care. Maybe some of those
tax breaks could be suspended and used for disaster relief rather than
asking joe citizen to pony up for it on telethons.
as to the MTBE...remember when reduced salt and fats soups were
introduced...they had less yet cost more. i also don't remember them
having any flavor. oh well, such is life.

>Hi,
After some good tries I came up with a paris wormhole version.
There is one specific version (which Adrian from wormhole has tailored to
our needs) that will work best with Paris.
It works under Me and I can have at least 8 tracks of fully synced audio
tracks coming from second computer via lan.
You have to use though console wrapper as it is the only yet that sends
syncing information.
I wanna know when I finally test this baby that he will get some support
from us.
We have to buy some of us (I have already) ) to justify all his extra
efforts he made for us.
It is cheap anyway...
Please respond with some positive interest in buying.
Afterall you will get fuller versions with updates for other systems that
work great along with Paris version.
Come on guys we don't expect people to work for us and have nothing for
return...
This way we may keep Paris alive for years (I hope) to come...
Regards,

Well, no disrespect to you, but when I hear ten years of talk about how weather
will get more severe and more extreme, and when I look at weather in my own
city, and not only notice the changes, but also hear constant news reports
