           \_ We will see. Seems unlikely.
        \_ Yeah, because CA sure has a problem with not enough dems in power!

        http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100526/ap_on_re_as/as_clinton_south_korea
        How did Hillary manage to do that when we're also asking China to
        concede on the economic front at the same time?
         \_ China doesn't want NK to implode. NK is a buffer between SK and
            China, or in other words a large buffer between a strong US ally and

        "The report argued that biodiversity was a core concern for society
        that would help tackle poverty and improve health, meriting as much

        instead magic, and using real people and references instead of
