well, I think the Unibomber has a point. I mean if you're going
to do that, then wouldn't your time be better spent trying to
solve the seemingly intractible problem of creating a backless
halter dress that is also strapless (and also with a hem 12"
above the knees)?

As is well-known, Einstein has already carried out significant
preliminary research on the issue of spatial dependence of the
stress tensor along the periphery of a strapless dress. So, there's
good work to build upon here.


A good engineer first identifies the real problem. A chemist would
use adhesive rather than equilibrium structural support. Given the
wonders of the marketplace (and ending up shopping for cosmetics with
my woman), I have empirical proof that one can purchase both adhesive
nipple outline obliterators and artifical high beams. We have come so
far from the pastie.

Implantable Fe-Nd-B magnets also suggest themselves.

Sadly, I am still trying to figure out Nutcase Ten's connection
between the evil hi-tech infrastrure and the killing of an owner or a
Radio Shack store. After all, Radio Shack doesn't even sell hi-tech,
just consumer junk.

Realize that if Ted K. had access to a regular piece of ass, none of
his killings would have likely happened.

In order to see the big picture, you have to take everything
into account, at the same time! When you do, you see we
have two problems: overgoverning and overpopulation.

Any out-of-control population is a pestilence to other populations,
except those is symbiosis. The problems caused by human
overpopulation are hard to see. If you don't read about them,
you're in the dark. In order to be in harmony with Nature, we
should have to endure our natural enemies, just as all other
populations do. A convenient place to start would be to stop
suppressing SARS, allowing it to spread unchecked,
and see how that goes.

A SARS pandemic would be much more destabilizing to
non-democratic regimes than to democracies, because
those regimes enjoy little popular support. This would
give an edge to the various democratic movements, allowing
them to do the work themselves, instead of the American
military. It would also come down hard on the biggest
troublemakers outside of politics, practicing alcoholics
and addicts, because of their weakened condition.
Of course, the elderly would be at risk, too, and the
thinning of that segment would restore Social Security
to health. Etc, etc.

I've had one since 1980 and never used it.

My 9-year-old daughter, on the other hand, has used hers twice.

All of them. If you do not have internal papers you will be detained
at an airport.

Your passport is expired. If you do not renew within a stated
additional period you have to pay the whole whopping fee again. Have
the AAA take your picture. Uncle Al recommends wearing your best suit
and tie - because jackbooted State compassion fears trampling those
with real status.

Richard,

I'm not sure that this was the exact focus of the other Richard's
question, interesting though it be to know.

There were just short of 7 million US passports issued in 1995, the
latest year for which I've seen numbers. US passports last ten
years, but are renewable. If half of all passports get renewed, that
would suggest somewhere around 110 million passports out there. This
only gets us half way there, since nobody has a clue how many US
citizens there are to within 5%.

A reasonable guess, however, might be that 35~40% of Americans have
passports.

I renewed it last year. And good thing, too. Those sunglasses and the
Grateful Dead t-shirt in the original photo were going to get me stopped
everywhere.

And what percentage of US citizens visit airports?

I said "passports". Things that allow you to pass through foreign ports.
Foreign, as in where most of the world's population resides.
