Umm, excuse me, but we have something called a deficit. GWHB's answer to that
is to LOWER the taxes on rich people and go for his f***ing capital gains tax
repeal. There was BLAME for both sides on taxes, it's not just ``the Demos''

>Also, I have no idea what classism is. Could you elaborate buckmr?
Classism, to me, is prejudice based on class and usually involves assumptions
about the "class'' people are in or characteristics of a certain class or the
ignoring that different people are in differnt classes.

The thing is, whom do you think the Republicans will raise taxes on more, or
cut taxes the least from? It has been shown that they have shifted the tax 
burden from the rich to the poor dramatically since 1980.

So I question the thesis that "we" (sic) can't afford ``either of these bozos''.
However, I wouldn't argue that both are bozos! But as Morissey [OUT since the
80s??] says [paraphrase] ``some bozos are bigger than others, some bozos' bozos
are bigger than other bozos' bozos.''

Well, there you see how democratic my list is... you determine your own

Yes, it's difficult to capture things like this in figures. It could easily

   Oooh, there's definitely a stereotype here, at least in the GL communities
I've been part of. Very few people have accepted that it's not a transition.
Most have seemed incapable or unwilling to separate bisexuality from
polyamory. And I think there *is* a perception that Bi people *are* a lot
more promiscuous.

   Of course, none of this is helped by the fact that Karina & I are often
the only Bi people they've met who *do* identify as Bi, and <ahem>, well,
we *are* Poly and rather promiscuous. And really into threesomes. (We're also
just about the only people we know who are out as Poly, for that matter).

   I've actually said to GL friends at times that it's almost a pity that
Karina & I are the way we are - it'd probably do the stereotypes no end
of good if we were nice, simple, monogamous, prudish, very vanilla, etc,
etc...

Con le regole che io ho imparato a Napoli, le figure non si possono usare
per la primiera. Inoltre le carte non hanno punteggi, ma vanno semplicemente
in ordine discendente: 7 6 A 5 4 3 2. Ci vogliono almeno due 7 per aggiudicarsi
la primiera. Nota: 7 7 6 2 batte 7 7 A A, che con i tuoi punteggi non andrebbe.

Ciao Bruno,
grazie per il posting molto informativo. Non sono d'accordo
con quello che dici sulla doppia cittadinanza dei ministri.
(non che mi interessi direttamente) Un articolo del New York
times che si riferiva all'elezione dell'ultimo primo
ministro di Israele (Peres?) dotato di doppia citt. usa/isr.
diceva che avrebbe perso la citt. usa in quanto un cittadino
americano non puo' servire (ufficialmente) in un governo
"straniero".

Per quanto riguarda i biglietti, mi sono informato ad aprile, ma purtroppo mi
hanno detto che gli sconti si applicano su una tariffa piena, o simile, quindi
mi e` convenuto rivolgermi al mio travel agent che, indipendentemente dal
consolato o dall'AIRE offriva tariffe molto piu` basse proprio a causa delle
elezioni (andata e ritorno NYC - Venezia per circa $400, volo AirFrance; con 
Alitalia + sconto AIRE avrei pagato circa $770). Morale: neanche sotto elezioni 
Alitalia e` conveniente, pazienza.

A parte questo uno dei vantaggi piu` evidenti dell'iscrizione all'AIRE e` che
non si pagano le tasse sulle borse di studio; se non si e` iscritti l'ente
erogante trattiene una certa percentuale. Non so se sia la stessa cosa per i
redditi da lavoro, ma mi piacerebbe saperlo.

Ciao
