Cool. Maybe we can teach people to be self-dependent again. Most
of the population needs to go on a diet anyway.

I can't see how it could be effective to ship fresh milk across
state lines; support your local dairy. My cheese & etc. comes from
Oregon.

THANK YOU. Please do. I deal with enough bugs out of Redmond;
if you keep Silly-cone Valley to yourself, that's one less tactical
nuke I have to save up for.

Gee, I have to ride my motorcycles more? What a shame.

I'm increasingly less worried about "foreign kooks" and more worried
about the domestic ones being exported from LA to Portland (i.e.,
Bloods, Crips, etc.) No high-tech weapon system is going to protect
me from that. What protects me from that is gun control, where gun
control equals being able to hit your target.

Keep 'em. Little of interest has come out of Hollyweird of late
anyway. In fact, maybe we'd all be better off if we had to learn
to talk to our families again instead of staring at the idiot box.
> Want some nice domestic wine?
My wines (and beers!) come from Oregon or Washington. (Oh, BTW-
Portland called, they want their Blitz Weinhard brewery back.)
