I was looking for a jiffy-bag around here with some 2000 mcg of salbutamol, but somehow the database disintegrated and was only left with anomalous endogenic concentrations. No rule broken of course, mind you. Just millions in legal fees. Transparency index?

Well I think the whole affair was invented to evade testing.

They'll have the road cleared, IF it doesn't snow again.

Of course nothing will change as long as the collective concern isn't about happy downsizing, rather than a bottom up race toward higher rates of consumption. The broken system can't be fixed, in other words, if the critical concern is making sure 4 billion people have greater buying potential.

The use of social media is desensitizing, whether it be using conventional or non bombarment, a commercialization and spectacularization of horror.

The situation in Syria is complex, but the tweet from the 'leader of the free world' Donald Trump is appalling, as if he really cares, that we have 'nice, new, sofisticated bombs' to deploy. Once the arrival of bombs, even as they were kept secret in some general's war dispatch, were announced...

The limit of democracy: too many a-holes at the voting booths.

Re: Re: Well I guess that depends on what you mean by animate and big race. Sure, he doesn't have the swash buckling panache of Alberto in the GTs, or the Mars like battle rage in the classics of Bettini, but he's just as devestating in being 100% aware of his incredible (increasingly...
