Re: 18-Mar-11 News -- UN declares war after Gaddafi threaten
Autocrats fleeing hastily assembled pseudo-democratic governments assembled on the heels of "heroic" (young, full of piss-and-vinegar) uprisings, inevitably followed by deadly military response and chaos, yes, Spanish Civil War redux does spring to mind, interesting that Gadaffi should mention Franc...

Almost every phase of our (United States of America) agricultural technology (which is being used by most of the world now) depends directly on oil.

The facts clearly show that the Arizona Safeway Shooter was known by friends as a "Left-wing/Liberal", was a drug user, had Occult Shrines, and was severely mentally disturbed.
