"me" wrote in message ...

How tragic it is that the US government is now the *worst enemy* that personal freedom faces today. Do you really believe that, or are you just hoping that some radical leftist-"liberal" will come along and pat you on the head for reciting it properly? N. |

"Melissa" wrote in message ... [ . . . ] And what about Bush's new catch pair; that he wants to promote "liberty and freedom"? What's the difference between them? I heard Condoleeza Rice repeating it recently too, and wondered; what's the difference? It is true that the two words are often used interchangeably. While they are related and even overlapping in meaning, they aren't quite the same. Freedom is the state of not being imprisoned, enslaved, or (by extension) subservient to royalty, etc. Liberty has more to do with the right to do or choose some kinds of things. An example of the difference would be the convicted felon who completes his sentence and is released. He has his freedom back, but not the same liberties he had before conviction, e.g. he cannot legally own a firearm and in many states cannot vote. N. |

Ok, I guess I'll try this on Ebay and see what I can do.

Dear Nostrobino: Do you disagree or are you a right wing republican fascist hoping that another like minded cretin will agree with you? Film best, me You didn't answer the question. Do you really believe that "the US government is now the *worst enemy* that personal freedom faces today"? You're an admirer of Fidel Castro, Kim Jong-il, et al., and their communist paradises, I take it? Wish we were more like them, do you? To answer *your* question, I'm a lifelong registered Democrat. However, I was a Democrat before the party became dominated by the p.c. whiners and looney malcontents who are running it today. You can think of me as a Zell Miller Democrat, or a Harry S Truman Democrat. It should go without saying that I haven't voted for a Democratic president in recent decades. And by the way, fascists were left wing, not right wing. Read Hitler's "Mein Kampf" and see for yourself. You'll love his ideology, as most of it comports nicely with Democratic ideology today. Likewise Mussolini, who was a socialist, anarchist and marxist before he became a fascist (not much of a switch there). N. |

Quote"It's a great camera but I suspect most people are just going digital."
You're right, I just went digital, I bought the Kodak CX 7300 for 144 euro complete with 128 MB card battery charger and 4 Ni-Cd batteries.I have now the same enthusiasm for photography as when I got my first fujica 110 film camera with flash or the Minolta Freedom my aunt brought me from Canada or the SLR Nikon FM-2 I bought in '92.I gave away all my old stuff;I wouldn't bother to set up an ebay account to sell something no one wants anymore.I was bored throwing away the bad chemicals and paying an arm and a leg for films, developing etc.just for 5 good shots out of 36. -- Tzortzakakis Dimitriïs major in electrical engineering, freelance electrician FH von Iraklion-Kreta, freiberuflicher Elektriker dimtzort AT otenet DOT gr Ï "Melissa" Ýãñáøå óôï ìÞíõìá ...

How tragic it is that the US government is now the *worst enemy* that personal freedom faces today. I wouldn't say the worst, I'd reserve that for N Korea, China, Al Qaeda, Fidel... But certainly far from the best friend. And what about Bush's new catch pair; that he wants to promote "liberty and freedom"? What's the difference between them? I heard Condoleeza Rice repeating it recently too, and wondered; what's the difference? Best speed and best wishes on your worthy endeavour! You go girl! Thanks you. Please excuse my gross error at not noticing that you have already crossposted to rec.photo.misc as well as several other NG's. I am unable to find an answer to your question but none of the auctions for your model camera at ebay has the retail price listed so I wouldn't worry about it. Don't give your camera away. That was what I was afraid of actually. I think I paid close to $1000 for the whole kit originally ( I have a big carry bag, Tamron 20-200 Aspherical abd several other goodies ) and I'm shocked at how low the Ebay prices are, especially when I just sold a beat up old 8080A suitcase microlab that someone gave me for free, for $157 on Ebay. There are several companies who buy used cameras. Contact http://keh.com/ http://www.adorama.com/ or http://www.bhphotovideo.com/ and ask them what they will give for your camera or what would they ask for your camera if they had one for sale. My experience with people who buy used stuff, is that you can usually expect 10 cents on the original dollar. Good Luck. Just curious but what camera are you looking to buy after you sell yours? I'm actually into digital now, I picked up a used Coolpix 4500 ( yes, used on Ebay for $330 ) which I just love to death, and Costco had a sale recently for a HP Photosmart 7760, which prints awesomely on glossy photo paper, so no more film developing waits for me. And that probably explains why the 650si's are going for so little now. It's a great camera but I suspect most people are just going digital. -- Yours In Liberty, Melissa - Colorado, U.S.A. http://melissasliberty.blogspot.com/ The last best hope for liberty, to give the world its first Bill of Rights: http://www.UPAlliance.org/billofrights.htm |

Although I am not from the states, I love USA as if it were my homeland.Many
good things come from USA, including movies, processors, operating systems, music, democracy.If there wasn't microsoft (yes!microsoft) I wouldn't be having the japanese editor installed.Try to find japanese for linux, it's not possible.And if there wasn't kodak, I wouldn't be having an excellent digital camera only for 100 euro. -- Tzortzakakis Dimitriïs major in electrical engineering, freelance electrician FH von Iraklion-Kreta, freiberuflicher Elektriker dimtzort AT otenet DOT gr Ï "Nostrobino" Ýãñáøå óôï ìÞíõìá m...
