Proof's in the pudding bitches! The issue was education . . I'm not going to even bother to look at your unreferenced abstract from a 2 page article published FOUR YEARS ago in a small bulletin . . . Scott you ever study economics, you know the part whereby a larger country has a higher production of goods?

B.C. students among world's best in reading, math, science 3,000 teens write tests given in 41 countries Janet Steffenhagen Vancouver Sun, with file from CanWest News Service December 7, 2004 B.C. students outperformed their counterparts in almost every province and all but a handful of countries in international reading, math and science tests last year. Alberta was the only province that ranked higher than B.C., but Education Minister Tom Christensen said the differences were so small as to be statistically insignificant. "I'm very pleased to see that British Columbia students are among the best in the world in reading, math and science," Christensen told a news conference after reviewing results from the 2003 Program for International Student Assessment (PISA), released Monday. "It's a testament to our focus on student achievement and really to the hard work of students, parents and teachers in schools right around British Columbia." The tests, administered by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, were written by 15-year-olds in 41 countries, including a random sample of 3,000 students in B.C. British Columbia's performance improved slightly from the last PISA test in 2000. The province moved to fifth from seventh place in math while remaining at third place in reading and sixth place in science. The Canadian average, meanwhile, slipped in the rankings -- dropping to 11th place in science from fifth among countries in 2000 and falling to seventh spot from fifth in math. Canada remained third among countries in reading. Despite Canada's drop in the overall rankings, the country remains well above the OECD's 500-point average for each subject area, and far ahead of the United States in all academic areas. The U.S. placed 18th in reading, 22nd in science, 28th in math and 29th in problem-solving out of 41 countries. Its reading results are on par with the OECD average, but its science, math and problem-solving scores are statistically significantly lower than the OECD averages, and on par with Russia's performance in these three areas.

Spliffy made it big in his metal art business and is now fully ensconced in the land of upper class tax cuts and the cigar and martini set. Last I heard he was hiring some servants to take over his burdensome tasks of breathing and eating

The circular, redefining parameters of the rhetoric in this thread remind me of a Christian radio host I once listened to late at night on a Smith trip: "NO CHRISTIAN HAS EVER COMMITTED AN ACT OF AGGRESSION BECAUSE NO REAL CHRISTIAN WOULD AND AS SOON AS ONE DOES THEY CEASE TO BE CHRISTIAN." AMEN

BD Drytool gloves seem quite durable but are pretty $$

Yeah, the video is of me launching the north face when jordop and I carried skies up and had a "huck high 'til you're hospitalized" contest. But then he tucked Gambit Grooves, which was pretty impressive too. Only Atlas can carry skies
