- Ah... that explains why Europe is in a perpetual economic doldrum. They
- believe that when you spend a lot of time and money, blood, sweat, and
- tears on something, that you should then just give it away. Quite

- singers (a SINGER? Why not idolize a scientist or great doctor or

- matter of fact, I am certain that he is at his thinnest, most sleek form
- ever.
