This was another interview by proxy, the chinese olympic committee censored several interesting questions.

Ahhh, the five secret forbidden topics

This was another interview by proxy, the chinese olympic committee censored several interesting questions.

I would've appreciated the article more if I hadn't have known that.

No real dramas budzy, that's just the way it is. We are trying to push this concept and get some real interaction but we make it clear they dont have to answer anything they dont want to. It's not a problem really.

I sense the frustration that contributors such as yourself and Jarusa feel towards the restraints you have to deal with and I appreciate the honesty that is provided by you guys re this article and CFC Comunications in general.

Bullshit like the 40,000 membership figure and Fevs contract negotiations being on hold don't help with belief of what the club puts out.

Hey Budzy,

I see where your frustration comes from with communications. But overall I thought the line we were spun about Fev's contract negotiations was smart business by the club. Just to take the spotlight off it all and get it done behind closed doors was a plus for the club. I'm not going to argue with you about the membership numbers though!

Obama or McCain?

Obama

We have much greater sophistication at predicting the occurrence of natural disasters and improved plans to implement, should such disasters strike. Improvements in crop cultivation mean that even through challenging weather conditions, food can still be grown, and our knowledge of what foods are best suited to our bodies has advanced greatly in the past 50 years.

However, knowing about these threats should, in fact, make us feel safer. Because we know that global warming is occurring, we can introduce an emissions trading scheme to combat it. Because of September 11, we can implement systems to limit the likelihood of terrorist attacks on our soil. And because we know there are countries out there eager to make nuclear weapons, we can monitor the movement of not only the fuel, but also the technology needed to make such weapons.
