Eric, you're so worried about Europe. Do you not worry about the millions who walk into this country? Do you think there might be a knave or two with nefarious intentions among them? Clearly not, since you never mention it. Iran is an effective distraction from that (hey, a plot for a book, what do you think?). BTW, wind energy is good, but it's not enough to supply this country with much of anything. It's another distraction. > [Original Message] > From: Eric Yost <eyost1132@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > To: <lit-ideas@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Date: 4/27/2006 2:58:17 PM > Subject: [lit-ideas] Re: Gee whiz,another one of those ignorant people<irony intended> > > John: Given a choice between Lawrence and Eric or > Brezhinksi and Albright, I'm pretty sure I know > who has the more informed opinion. > > I'm sure you do.
