No, there is a chip in my physical Australian passport that allows access via a scanner to all of the information about me on record. It is also a regular passport with a photograph in it. At all Australian airports (and from what I can gather US international airports) they are using face...

There is absolutely biometric information connected to the new e-passports. We spend a month or so every year in the US. Since 911, we have been fingerprinted, photographed & otherwise measured each time we have entered the country. I was told explicitly at US Immigration this year that all...

ConMan, thanks for the links to Aaron Russo. As a non-American, I had not known of him until today. . .I have watched most of the clips today on the freedom to fascism site & am rivetted. Although the focus for most Americans is the effect on them/you, this all pertains to those of us who live...

Too busy ROFLTAO?? I actually think this is a personal favour from GWB to Johnny Howard, who he is down here electioneering for at APEC (or OPEC as he thinks it is called, along with thinking our PM went all the way to Iraq to inspect the Austrian troops - good grief!). I swear to you all...

Well "my" government (crap I can't wait for Novemeber when our mongrel Prime Minister is going to get his conniving, bullshitting ass handed to him on a plate) just signed a trade deal with Russia & India to sell them our Uranium - for energy use only of course - which free's up their existing...

It is a very dangerous thing to go through life prepared to believe (esp) the official line of governments, when the evidence does not stack up to support it. Personally I thought much of the Lose Change stuff was way out there, but it did one thing well - begged questions that MUST be asked...

ICE! Say no to drugs, m'kaaaay!

J-man you should try on this level of clarity and concision all of the time & people might actually a) have a clue what it is you are usually raving on about b) take notice & ask themselves appropriate questions. Thanks for a well thought post absent the usual esoteria.

A link to one of the subjects interviewed for the movie & just how he came to be involved. . .really high moral standards these film makers have - but then again theres a lot of ends justifying means in the bible so this must all be ok...

JB, I love you! Gilbert be with you!:D

At the dire risk of you thinking I wish to engage in a conversation I will address some of your missive

Nice explanation Lar, thanks. I was about to set off and do that homework myself, but this seems to make sense.

and yet you are still here Yeah from laughing & a little bit as a legacy of having birthed two children the way nature intended! See ya round.

You see there you go again. Drawing conclusions that are obvious only to you, and making absolute statements about the definition and nature of others experience. By what authority do you determine the capacity of experience of your fellow man - the authority of the church, what you read in...

No, Zzzz, here is where you are wrong. A man thinking about being a billionaire and what that must be like is faaaaaar from abstract, as billionaires exist inside the very limited construct of reality that you are so railing against. So man's ability to consider what it is like to be another...

Eliot you are a crack up! We switched to ToS about 2 years ago, from OX & they are absolutely the best - there is no comparison. They simply can't do enough to help & their committment to having a well educated customer base is a great bonus. Don't hesitate to move across.

jj, I couldn't answer your question directly, but I agree that it sounds improbable. This week is only the third time I have held BWB's through a tumble in the market (none of which have been huge) & each one has worked out well, though the distant long has remained OTM each time (so far!)...

ROFLMAO. Sorry I definitely require my therapist to have not only reading/listening comprehension skills above an elementary school level, but the ability to operate aside from the own, 'ahem', biases. Guess that counts you out, what with the swag of assumptions & prejudice that you bring to...

Hehehe - nice attempted deflection from your own inability to follow a simple chain of ideas. You should just try being a real man and admitting your mistakes, I promise people will think more of you, than when you stoop to blatant non sequitur in an attempt to cover them up. Gee, I...

Yes well assumption and bigotry aren't always the best paradigms from which to operate. Everybody treads their own path to becoming successful in any pursuit, my personal agreement with their past is totally irrelevant to my initial assessment of them. You see my assessment, based upon limited...
