Yeah, and you know what us Usenetters are like - jumping in before we really

dinner?  That fresh game smells good, and I'm getting hungry.  Poor Marty will
still have to keep looking for his liberals though; I can't stand the idea
of voting for Clinton.
Then again, I can't stand the idea of voting for any of them....  Bush makes
promises he doesn't keep, Clinton makes promises he won't be able to keep,
and Perot gives orders, not promises.  We should throw them all back in and
deal a new hand....

Subject:      compositionally challenged

Greetings,

I don't consider myself a Clinton "partisan," but I do intend to vote for
him.  Am I compositionally challenged?

As for those who accuse Clinton of "cooking" his figures, a article in
the Wall Street Journal two weeks ago (or so) analyzed the Bush and
Clinton economic plans.  There was a substantial discrepancy between
Clinton's projected federal receipts and his planned outlays: something
on the order of 300 billion dollars.  Pretty big gap, huh?  Likewise,
there was a significant shortfall in Bush's program: on the order of
440 billion dollars.  The period under consideration was, I believe, 5
years (but I may be mistaken on that part, and I may be as much as 50
billion off on either candidate; I am quite sure, though, the WSJ found
Bush much farther off the mark).

No big surprise there; the line from Boston through Manhattan and Philadelphia

trains to push speeds higher ... under private ownership the fastest trains
in this country ran between Chicago and Carbondale, IL and Chicago

Yep, until May 1, 1971, Amtrak Day.  The first act of federal "preservation"
of passenger trains was to discontinue about half the service.  Some of the
routes discontinued connected major cities, such as Pittsburgh to
Washington, D.C., Cleveland to Cincinnati, Detroit to Louisville.

Well, if it's the show I'm thinking of, the pilot came out 2 or three years ago
and was called Nick Knight (as opposed to Nick at Night).  The vampire/cop was
played by Rick Springfield.  NBC (I think) aired the pilot again this last

and (3) he let the cat out of the bag regarding Texas schools, informing
the nation that at least one Texas school allowed a student 65 excused
absences so that s/he could "show" a chicken at a livestock show.  Alas

That's interesting.  What Reagan era actions are the cause of the

I heard on the news last night that the NSW government has just spent many
millions of dollars upgrading our major rail systems and purchasing new XPT
trains - so I guess I shouldn't complain, at least, the petrol tax money
seems to be being used for something other than lining the government's
coffers. You won't be surprised to hear though that the first one to be
upgraded and allotted the best and fastest train is the major link to the
nation's capital, Canberra..... I guess that one's for all the bureaucrats
who don't get free airtravel or the 'pollies' are looking for more of their
share of the tourist dollars... currently no-one would waste good money going
there, there are far more interesting places to see.

I assume that there used to be such a service, but the same thing happened to
your town as happened over here to many of our more remote outback towns.....
some economists decided that since the trains weren't being fully patronised,
7 days @ week, these towns didn't need any form of public transport... the
fact that this rail link was the only way people had of getting to or from
these locations didn't seem to enter into the decision to close them down.

We only have two grades - 'leaded super' and 'unleaded regular', but 'diesel'
and 'natural gas' are also available at cheaper rates.

Probably for the same reason our goods and services are still priced ending in
anything but '0' or '5', even though all one and two cent coins were withdrawn
from circulation at the beginning of this year. As a consequence every
transaction has to be either rounded up or down.... the latter is not very
common.... and they said it wasn't going to add to inflation - Huh!
