Getting back to rollups... If you were going to edit the UIS file there's an easier way than adding a button. Open it in Notepad and in the [Personality] section add this line: RightClickAction=4

Gas prices here went up 40 cents a gallon the day that a barrel of oil went up 40 cents. When oil went down $2 a barrel I was hoping for the best unfortunately gas hasn't gone down at all. It's currently $1.98 a gallon. When I was in California last week I paid between $2.11 and $2.20 for regular. sig - I think I got confused about the VX incident. My memory from that period is kind of fuzzy and I

I only saw one person here (yvonne) talking about "depleted uranium". This is a terrible ecological catastrophe for the civilian population very much on a par with using chemical weapons. It's known to cause cancer and birth defects forever in the places it's used. The US would like you to believe that it's harmless but there is proof that the effects are devastating. Many scientists and medical professionals tried (and are still trying) to get its use banned because of documented alarming incre

Education could change the entire world. Not even teaching any particular ideology or world-view but just making people more literate. That's the best promise of the internet, to provide information and educational tools to anyone in the world that can get to a computer and a phone at the same time. Unfortunately this would be viewed by some in power as destructive because a well educated population makes terrible slaves for industry. I'd be willing to bet there's tons of chemical weapo

WOW that's great! Thanks GM I was wishing I could find exactly that kind of map. I wanted to test my geography and you come up with a link to the very thing I was fantasizing... I missed three, two stans and Mali because I didn't wait till I had Chad in the right place first.

I'm on the wrong planet... The convenient thing about history is you can focus on the parts that suit your reality the best. When things have been a certain way for a long time it's easy to think they've always been that way and that it's natural. There have been cultures that enjoyed over a thousand years of peace and propserity. Their demise always came from within, not from a conqueror. America was leading the world to a new prosperity and a potential of world peace and a sh

And it';s even more embarrassing when the president wears elevator shoes and refuses to talk at a European conference because they won't promise him canned applaus and a faked standing ovation... a dreary day in American diplomacy... we look like fools...

That makes sense BB... could be the reason. I just hate the message it sends to other countries when there's a worldwide agreement on a treaty to ban something like land mines or biological weapons, and the US refuses to sign it. Backing out of the nuclear treaties, proclaiming a right to "pre-emption", developing new nuclear weapons, bragging about our armed forces having switched to tactical nukes on many of their conventional delivery systems... it's all so much like giving the whole

Good response Baker.... and I'm glad to see you addressed something I actually said. Ever notice the guys that seem to get the rotten end of all this stuff are the ordinary people? Whether it's your gung-ho boys with guns getting slaughtered or the sad-eyed kids in a demonstration getting gassed and clubbed or the civilians, living ordinary lives, that get bombed, straffed, napalmed and poisoned. Did you notice that every one of Bush's administration evaded serving in combat? B

I imagine if your goal is to kill someone so they can't kill you, you'd use desperate measures. I don't think any part of war is defensible but that's just me. You must admit, the level of dedication to the cause in a suicide bomber is pretty high. I wonder what it would be like if we were being invaded... how people would fight in a war on our own soil. Hope I never find out... The US does use mines... and cluster bombs that leave little yellow packages laying around that explode when
