Glad your having fun with your flatulence recognition system, Firth. Glad you're one of Australia's brainiacs, Foolstroup. And did you ever look up the martial law directive, Ebbie?

And there's nowhere to go, Little Hawk. You and I know that. And on January 14 the U.S. begins the old Soviet practice of selectively denying exit from the country:

"The Department of Homeland Security proposed new rules back in July that would fundamentally undermine the right of American citizens to travel abroad. Public carriers--airlines, cruise lines, even fishing boats--will be required to submit the names of all passengers to Homeland Security prior to departure and to obtain permission from Homeland Security to board those passengers. These new rules will take effect January 14, 2007...."

All Americans will be on the "no-fly list."

Hey, that's a good one. Do you folks believe this rule is going into effect in January, or do you deny it? And if you admit it's going into effect, do you think it's a GOOD thing or a BAD thing? I'm truly interested in hearing what answer the TV has told you to regurgitate.
