Good lord, tons and tons are alive. I wanted the one that got my dog
moved and Fish & Game flat out told me there was no place to move it
that didn't already have other mountain lions.

America is first world. This statement declassifies most of
Germanies countryside as second world, at maximum. I for one am
happy if i get a constant stream equivalent to ISDN. In the outer
region of a city in one of the richest parts of Germany, that is.
Really? I thought that America was trailing in broadband. And in
Germany? I'm stunned, usually we're looking at Germany and sighing
about how much better run it is than our country. You guys are very
efficient. How is it possible that you have crappy internet, are you
sure that's normal?
