NOW WHICH SHUTTLE WOULD YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE ON?

First of all Columbia did not "Blow up, it was torn apart with re-entering
the air, one wing had been damaged and that caused a failure of the wing
which also then tore the crast apart, just like what has happened to
countless airplanes during war time.

And what's you point? Just because there was two women on each mission or
that each mission had a black man onboard?

I smell a very bad and sticking TROLL myself.

They where ALL Human and I'd say they where a hell of a lot braver than your
sorry a.s, as lest they had enough guts to take the chance to touch space
itself.

Killfile time.

They're all in flight suits?

I don't understand why having mustaches would make the flight safer.

.. Stupid Money and Stocks in the U.S.A.
..
.. No, money isn't everything. But money -- making it and spending
.. it -- has been important in America from the time the first
.. European settlers arrived. The earlier Indian inhabitants
.. managed to make do quite nicely without the almighty dollar,
.. as unimaginable as this must seem. Indeed, our Indian
.. predecessors were no doubt surprised to find odd-looking
.. white-skinned Europeans with excessive amounts of facial
.. hair confidently setting specific monetary values on various
.. chunks of real estate -- "Hmm, yes that island there is worth
.. $24 and change. That river, $14 exactly, or 10 dollars in gold."
.. The concept must have seemed absolutely ludicrous and hardly
.. civilized. Doesn't the land belong to all? Like the water and
.. sky? In a word, no. Not now. The Europeans felt they knew
.. better, and they knew that valuation is primarily monetary
.. and preferably in thalers, dollars, or British sterling
.. (although they may have entertained other valuation theories
.. during the hour or so spent on their end-of-the-week holy
.. ministrations).
..   And so, ever since, making and spending money has been a
.. great American pastime, pursued with that great abundance
.. of innocent and energetic enthusiasm that makes us truly
.. American. Sometimes, of course, that innocent, wonderful
.. American enthusiasm can be a bit excessive, a bit overreaching,
.. and the pursuit of money can result in situations that we
.. may review with disgust, disdain, and amusement ....

.. Standard Normal Greedy CEO Section
..
.. "You will be confronted with questions every day that test
.. your morals. Think carefully and, for your sake, do the
.. right thing, not the easy thing."
..    -- Dennis Kozlowski, then CEO of Tyco, now undergoing
..       investigation for billion-dollar fraud, indicted for
..       conspiring to avoid sales taxes, and accused by
..       shareholders of massive wasting of corporate money.
..
.. For many CEOs, the right thing, not the easy thing, appears
.. to be amassing millions of dollars' worth of knickknacks,
.. vacation homes, and the like for personal use ... on the
.. company's dollar. Perhaps the rationale is that a superrich
.. and happy CEO makes for happy profits. Then again, how much
.. in the way of profits did Enron or WorldCom, whose CEOs are
.. represented here, actually make?
..   Are we being cynical?

..                   (company owned but
..                   for personal use
..                   only -- for such
..                   things as reportedly
..                   carting some of his
..                   daughter's personal
..                   furniture, including
..                   a queen-size bed, to
