After the plague there were a lot less people per acre and nobody had to try
to farm the really bad land.

Might this be a good place to campaign for the legalization of drunk driving?

...or Malt-ian benefits ....
abotu the logic missed above ....
franch concern for elderly: zero therefore go off on holiday and
do nothing when they start dying in large quantities.
french concern for iraqui peopoe: zero therefore stay out on 'holiday'
(holiday umbrella created by others' wwii sacrifice)
and do nothing when/while iraquis continue dying in
large quantities - by gassing adn slaughter and
created famines
ignoring genocide 'over there' has been a vicious chrarcteristic of
most of the planet for most fo the history of mankind.
however, that is slowly coming to an end, thankfully.
'it takes a planet' to protect the family of mankind - and now the
capabilities exist to do so.
we 'missed' teh pogroms, teh ukraine, rwanda, cambodia, teh armenians,
ans several others (larger and/or smaller) but 'we' did stop
hitler, japan (see china, et al.), bosnia ... and now saddam.
verrrrrrry slowly we are, as a planet, getting this thing right.
logic problem? i think not.
comments?

Perhaps I should just count my blessings that our noble and fearless
leader is apparently unaware of this dastardly French geriatricide,
for there's no telling what could happen if he took an interest in
liberating the suffering aged masses of France..

Does France have oil? If not, I wouldn't worry.

It's a good thing the Bush administration sees no need for collaboration with
France (or, really, much of anybody). This way, when we decide to liberate
France's oppressed Octagenarian minority, there's no risk of having
embarrassing pictures of Rummy shaking hands with French diplomats surface.
I mean, it would be tragic if evidence surfaced that the Reagan and GHWBush
administrations exported huge quantities of thermal underwear and space
heaters to France to be used in that nation's oppression and slaughter of its
elderly.
Hmmm. The analogy wears thin...

These days I find myself disturbed by anything Bush does, no matter who he's
doing it with (or without). Aside from that, I think my level of
disturbedness depends more on what exactly the collaboration is on than who
it is with. While I don't see China as somebody we should be chumming around
with< i'm perfectly happy to work with them to prevent the War to End All
Nations That End in "Korea".
Russia's higher on my list of acceptable allies than China, but I'd be
happiest with a collaborator like, say, the UN.

Knowledgable, wily, and well-connected where it counts might be more
accurate. I'm sure Putin knows the spy game like the back of his hand
if he was head of the KGB. I'm sure there is a lot of covert politics
that he would know infinitely better than Dubya. Thing is, I would
imagine Russia may have more restrictions than our Patriot Act.

Earlier this summer there was a yacht visiting Ketchikan which
belonged to Roman Abramovitch, Russian oligarch and political
crony of Putin. It was 200+ feet long, had a helicopter, a motor
launch, and a 70 foot sailboat all perched up on top. It looked
exactly like the sort of thing a James Bond supervillain would
use to travel around the world and it occurred to me that that
impression might not be completely baseless..

France has plenty of oil. They buy it from Libya.

And this, just in (Well, actually, it's from August on Space.com):
(Discussing snow on Mars) "Yes, surprisingly, but you wouldn't want to
ski on it. And it's melting, perhaps due to global warming."
Quick! Somebody call Kyoto to do something about those emissions from
Martian cars and factories!

Hey! did you hear about the new study released that says the Neanderthals
(early man) actually began global warming?
Seems the fossil records show gradual warming over the last 100,000 years.
Death to the nean... wait,...never mind.

Hmm...it seems to me that these arguments are along the lines of,
"Floods often occur naturally. Therefore if my neighbor builds a dam
downstream and floods my house, I can't blame him; it's a natural process."
