Maybe that's why they canceled my trip to CA World in Las Vegas this week.  But
then again I all ready carry a gun and have contempt for America's "culture of
fear".  So its a moot point.

Fascinating article.  Honestly I considered going over there and making a run
at it as a contractor.  There is bucketloads of money to be made.  Funny thing
is that I got married the year before it started and my ability to make
decisions like that have been severely reduced.
