Short Mars travel times at high speed.

wow, maybe you could advise me. *so, which is better, LSD or mild ergot poisoning -- will the latter flashforward to cure flashbacks from the former? Sorry, it just seemed like the right comment to make based upon where your adventure began and where it ended. the interesting thing about this article, most of which I did not read & that I just noticed, is, that little statement about synthesizm; no synesthezia required? also, Moog just came-out with a guitar (saw the ad; at 6500US, it's time to roll one's own .-) http://www.allentwood.com/essays/lordofflies.html religions, specifically the religious synthesism of RamaKrishna. In Okay, when the effects of the LSD wore off, what happened next? thus quoth: Fannie Mae was created by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1938, as a government agency to buy mortgages from lenders, as a way of funding the purchase of homes in the Great Depression. In more recent years, Fannie Mae and its sibling Freddie Mac, were taken over by what FDR attacked as the "economic royalists," and turned into vehicles for derivatives speculation. Under the great Greenspan bubble, Fannie and Freddie were turned into money machines to feed the run-up in real estate values to provide assets—in the form of mortgage debt—as fuel to the derivatives markets. This scheme was bound to fail, as it spectacularly has, leaving Fannie and Freddie, and the U.S. banking system, utterly bankrupt. However, Fannie and Freddie are at the heart of Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson's and Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke's insane scheme to bail out the banks by dumping all their bad mortgage paper into the two government-sponsored enterprises, effectively transferring the banks' losses to the government, and ultimately to the taxpayer. The government is not really bailing out Fannie and Freddie, but merely funding their conversion into the largest toxic waste dumps in history. Far from being saved, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are being destroyed.http://larouchepub.com/other/editori...t_treason.html It goes back to this administration and things being big in Texas, especially the government. This administration has caused more problems that they themselves feel they must rescue us from to the point where we'd all have been better off had they done nothing in the first place. They are beyond being self-serving to the point of being total bungling. Resorting to this sort of socialism would have been better served by saving Anheiser-Busch from the Belguins rather than trying to bail out Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. |

There is a saddle in the Grand Canyon where Vishnu Temple and Krishna Shrine meet. I have never been there as it takes at least two days to get there by foot and I haven't heard of any pack animals going to that remote place either. Of course, if we are going for Vishnu avatars, then my favorite has to be Hanuman - the Cute, Personality-Filled Monkey God, who could kick ass to a degree that King Kong could only dream of. Hanuman Rules! I do not believe that Clarence Dutton named a butte or temple in the Grand Canyon after Hanuman.
