Aren't South American nations separated from us by the water of the

No, South America is connected to Central America thus not being overseas,
thus George Bush is still a huge fucking idiot. Amazingly, most US citizens
do not know that the US is the second largest producer of oil in the world,
just a fraction behind Saudi Arabia. For our great ability to produce enough
oil for our needs, we get jack shit. We do get a president who states things
like "It is clear our nation is reliant upon big foreign oil. More and more
of our imports come from overseas."
-George W. Bush, Beaverton, Ore., Sep. 25, 2000
With stunning commentary like that we still have idiots that demand oil to
be drilled from ANWR like that would do anything for us. All of the oil, if
any is present is already sold to China! Infact most of our oil produced in
the US is sold to China and Japan while the US citizens are screwed for the
rich getting profits. Get your heads out of your asses. The rich are fucking
the rest of us over.

Even fewer seem to know that our oil supply is nearly exhausted, and that our
proven reserves don't even get us on to the "top ten list". We won't be able
to sustain current rates of production for more than a few years. Fortunately
the President has better information than you do. Proven Saudi reserves are
over 250 billion barrels, proven U.S. reserves don't even equal #10 China at
23.7 billion barrels. It's those bastards in California like Larry and Tim who
drive too much.

As opposed to Mexico and Central America, which were once capable of
supplying America's great thirst for oil. Unfortunately you seem unfamiliar
with the fact that Mexican oil is imported from a location which is not "over-
seas".

within 20 years, the world's dependence on oil will radically reduce.
which is a good thing, because if it did not, it would begin grinding to a
halt. the price of fuel will be 100 times more expensive by then, and if
consumption remained the *same* as today, it would swiftly become 10 000
times more expensive.

as jargon is concerned.
It's all there already already if you look already! Oy, my life, eyes this
man hasn't got that such things he has to ask me! What a Michigganer! :o)
The most common Block, Terminal, was the BT56, which was screwed to the wall
and connected the PVC phone cable to the famous short 6ft. Litz Wire
flexible cord leading to the actual phone.
In my collection of old phones etc., I have a BT No.1, the first ever. It's
a round thing but I can't say more than that beak horse it has donkey's
years old paint on it and the cover is stuck!
The pun is Die or BTs = Diabetes, BTW. No offence intended to sufferers of
course.
The GPO/POC/BT and the military in particular used to name things with the
main description first and the others in descending order of importance,
like
"Boots, Leather, Pair, Heavy Duty, Privates for the use of."
That sort of thing. Makes some sort of sense ice up hose (brrr!)
That'd be: "Ice, Lumps, Hose, Putting up for the use of."!!
The GPO, the forerunner of the Post Office Corporation which is now British
Telecom, was populated by mainly military types and used to do similar, and
might still do now for all I know.
When I started as a Youth-in-Training at Euston Telephone Exchange in 1962
(heaven help me!), the boss of my area was a Major Beaumont. When he
interviewed me for the job he had me sitting about 20ft away from him in his
very long, oak-panelled office - to see if I could speak up for myself and
judge my character I suppose.
Management Psychology - where would we be without it? Much, much happier at
work for a start! Load of bleedin rubbish!
I remember him phoning the exchange once and the LTO (local manager), an
ex-sergeant called Steve Joy, shouted down the Test Room to us all, "Take
your hands out of your pockets! It's Major Beaumont!" That's how silly it
was!
A good example of how silly the naming system is, is that a cabinetmaker's
screwdriver is a "Screwdriver, Cabinet," - while a box for keeping
screwdrivers in would be a "Cabinet, Screwdriver"!
Until recently, the same was true in Regents Park where the toilets had
signs reading "Toilet, Gents" and "Toilet, Ladies"!
(A Cabinetmaker's Screwdriver, Cabinet Screwdriver for short, is a high
quality one with a polished wooden handle, usually Boxwood, with a ball or
flattened ball shape to give a good grip, and a brass ferrule.)

people who specialize in architecture. His talent is to make
blueprints (blue colored diagrams of planned buildings) with
his feet or hands.
2. Drawkcab: Can reverse time and magic.
3. Fect: Fect`s talent is Practicing. Fect can
improve tools and furniture by using them, and improve
buildings by living in them. By concentrating, Fect can
practice a tool to perfection in minutes. For more
information about such a talent, please read The
Practice Effect by David Brin.
4. Fect`s brother Maxwell (as in Maxwell`s Demon,
who can separate fast molecules from slow ones): Maxwell`s
talent is Reversing or Reducing Entropy (tendency of things
to become less orderly), in violation of the 2nd Law of
Thermodynamics (entropy always increases). Maxwell can
touch a mound of rubble and turn it back into a building.
He can also make a fallen object jump back up, and mend
if it is broken. However, he cannot create or destroy
energy (1st Law of Thermodynamics: Total energy remains
constant), so he must absorb energy from his surroundings
to perform the above feats, thus causing local temperatures
to fall. He can also cause heat to move from a cool place
to a warm place in violation of the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics.
Thus Maxwell can make a small area very hot or cold while
making a larger area slightly colder or hotter. Maxwell
can even make objects move fast by causing their molecules
to move in the same direction (which also makes them very cold).
5. Gravis, who can intensify or weaken gravity.

people who specialize in architecture. His talent is to make
blueprints (blue colored diagrams of planned buildings) with
his feet or hands.
2. Drawkcab: Can reverse time and magic.
3. Fect: Fect`s talent is Practicing. Fect can
improve tools and furniture by using them, and improve
buildings by living in them. By concentrating, Fect can
practice a tool to perfection in minutes. For more
information about such a talent, please read The
Practice Effect by David Brin.
4. Fect`s brother Maxwell (as in Maxwell`s Demon,
who can separate fast molecules from slow ones): Maxwell`s
talent is Reversing or Reducing Entropy (tendency of things
to become less orderly), in violation of the 2nd Law of
Thermodynamics (entropy always increases). Maxwell can
touch a mound of rubble and turn it back into a building.
He can also make a fallen object jump back up, and mend
if it is broken. However, he cannot create or destroy
energy (1st Law of Thermodynamics: Total energy remains
constant), so he must absorb energy from his surroundings
to perform the above feats, thus causing local temperatures
to fall. He can also cause heat to move from a cool place
to a warm place in violation of the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics.
Thus Maxwell can make a small area very hot or cold while
making a larger area slightly colder or hotter. Maxwell
can even make objects move fast by causing their molecules
to move in the same direction (which also makes them very cold).
5. Gravis, who can intensify or weaken gravity.
