jan2505 from Lloyd Erlick,
I wouldn't argue with a word you've said. But as an outsider I'd expect to be chastised for being so blunt, or outspoken, or pig-headed, or ingrate, were I to say it. Your explication brings to mind the transition of ancient Rome from its republican start (not Republican!) to its degenerative imperial period, full of self centered emperors empowered first by various gods and then by God. I'm trying to think of graded papers made in England... regards, --le On Tue, 25 Jan 2005 11:17:08 -0700, Tom Phillips wrote: Lloyd usenet-Erlick wrote: snip... Now another Republican comes along and starts setting new federal deficit-financing records in the US. Pardon me for saying, but this looks very bad from the outside. Does it look good to anyone on the inside of the US economy? Who would it be that thinks it's a good thing? Who is benefiting? But Lloyd you miss the point of all this. Deficits are the major strategy of the Reagan Revolution neocons. Being the anti-government zealots they are (meaning their view is government shouldn't be in the business of doing things for those citizens who's taxes pay to run that government...), their strategy is to cut taxes (mainly for CEOs to the tune of a trillion $$$), run up a massive deficit thus creating a crisis, then cut all government spending that isn't _pentagon_ related. You'll notice in the new projections Bush's $100 billion war expenditures aren't consider a part of this year's deficit figures... Fiscal conservatives always used to say it was wrong to saddle our descendants with such a large debt. When did the Republicans stop being fiscal conservatives? When they stopped being conservatives... In both our countries (Canada and USA) we see the spectacle of so-called conservatives applying words like reform and revolution to their activities. I believe Bush used the word reform just the other day. Yes, reform government by the people and for the people to government by and for the CEOs... snip again... An American friend of mine remarked the other day that we all should pray for the continued good health of President Bush, because Vice President Cheney looks even scarier! I remember exactly the same thing being said about Spiro Agnew in Nixon times. I would beg to differ. Cheney _is_ the president You don't think a guy who spent the first 40 years of his life blowing cocaine up his nose and rearranging his brain has really been running this country for the last 4 years, do you? ;^) I'm afraid I've lost the thread -- exactly what was wrong with Al Gore again? Nothing. He actually won in 2000... |

Well, we both agree there are many good people in The USA, as well as abroad. He either won fair and square or he did not. Time will tell fro sure, because a true tyrant can never resist trying to keep the power hold that they think they have gained "fairly". There's no way in hell he will get another term, if that's any consolation, there are just too many people opposed to him. -- LF Website @ http://members.verizon.net/~gregoryblank "To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."--Theodore Roosevelt, May 7, 1918 |

This is what's happening. But instead of a king-god or pope-god, we will have an evangelical right wing talk radio-god. The real God must be amused by all this self important human arrogance and historical repetition. I'm trying to think of graded papers made in England... On topic, does anyone know how Kentmere compares to other cold tone graded papers, like Seagull? regards, --le On Tue, 25 Jan 2005 11:17:08 -0700, Tom Phillips wrote: Lloyd usenet-Erlick wrote: snip...

Steve,
Luminos had been marketing some of the Kentmere papers in the U.S. Now Luminos is not handling the Kentmere papers. Freestyle Photo is the exclusive Kentmere distributor in the U.S. The first of the product should be available in the next couple of weeks. John Richardson |

Ken,
The Kentmere paper is going through customs as we speak. When we have it in stock depends on the government. Thanks for the great compliments! John Richardson |
