You know, Bill O'Reilly was talking about this in his books. I agree with
you that politicians should be held accountable to the people. That is what
reelections are for. You should read em. :) The Hillary interview is um...

An idea...
This hasn't really occured to a lot of people, but I've known people who
have done it. In the interest of preserving our community... If people run
a clan for some other game, and it's not an MMORPG, they should bring them
to AW to have "interactive meetings" :) That will get people in to see the
technology and perhaps they will subscribe as well.

Tourists can build in AWTeen, and if I'm not mistaken, the GateKeepers at
AWGate usually tell tourists what worlds are open to them every few minutes.

It is interesting to see how so many people can quote the rules and
regulations of a forum, but have the nerve not to follow themselves. Excuse
me for butting in, but everyone else has.
Linn had a qualified excuse.
She also had a qualfied reason. It is an great thing to thank someone for
something, even if the person receiving it is seemingly less than eager to
accept it. It is an even greater thing to risk public backlash to give that
thanks by posting on a newsgroup that is so full of prudes and rulemeisters
that it's not even remotely good. Pitiable, perhaps. A lot of folks here
seem to have overlooked the sacrifice of her pride that she's given.
Bend a little, give a little. It's how the world functions. Such a fuss
over nothing. Is that not how the world functions as well? Only if it's
your choice.

Actually it's purely a defensive measure. There's lots of evidence that
Iraq can blow us away from where its sitting on the "other side" of the
world.

And from reports coming out of Iraq, it's been working! :D The news media
got ahold of some news about a month ago that the Iraqi government was
trying to break some sort deal with them.
