:lol: ...as was pointed out in a seminar I attended on harassment in the workplace. If it can be shown that you are equally gruff with all people, nobody can effectively say that you've singled them out and targeted them to harass.

Hmmmm - not selling....

I meant that there are people who are doing good right now. Volunteers, soldiers, the victims themselves to each other, etc. And that there will always be someone there when disaster strikes. I don't believe that these things would happen if we lived in a Godless world. I always understood that ther...

Of course it's horrible, I just think it's a little premature to choose who's neck should be in the noose for it...and whether that will help anything in the long run (other than the politicians and the media). Frankly, we weren't there to witness so we don't know (a lesson I work with my children o...

Tell me you're kidding with that.

Pretty indecent to presume what I have in my heart.

I just thought of a title for a piece I've been working on: "Dirge of the Chronically Dissatisfied and Irate" (It has no intro or verses per-se, just a hollow, obnoxious chorus that keeps repeating and never really changes or fades out) <font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: narly on ...

The magnitude of the disaster is put into perspective pretty well when you consider the area affected is roughly equivalent to the size of UK (remember - lots of people stranded in other places than N.O.). Not everyone can be helped FIRST in such a huge disaster regardless the amount of forces mobil...

Retracted.

Sorry - I keep forgetting that dissenting viewpoints are often frowned upon by the bulk of the contributors to this forum

I think the matter was to secure the area for the civilians and aid workesr from those taking pot-shots at police and air-lift helicopters with their assult weapons. Tough conditions to ask anyone to work in... Read my earlier post - protecting food stores is agreed a non-priority. Keep in mind also...

Perhaps, but not for you.

Knew I could count on that perspective from you rez' :sad: Criticizm is easy, dude. Action is hard, but that's what's required. BTW; ever considered the roles and actual effectiveness of local and state agencies in all this? Oh, I forgot - US Presidency decides/controls all! Not a single other indiv...

Ummm - What we already know is that there is a lot of work to be done to help/save the victims of a natural disaster. That there is much work to be done in reconstructing what is feasible to be reconstructed. That there is a lot to be done to prevent recurrance (there and possibly elsewhere). The wo...

Kinda hard for the agencies/aid workers/air lift teams to be in there helping when being shot at and attacked. Order must be established for reasonable assistance efforts to proceed... People are basically animals and the few nut-jobs who are over-the-top agressives kinda f@#* it up for everyone (in...

Someone had posted that STS2000P will run XTC, which I tested. It does work - but it's a player only. VolksZampler would maybe be a better choice(?) The other STS samplers don't load in XTC.

A vote is useless, eh? Very positive, as always.
