I know very little in general. I hope you can excuse me for that.

Yeah, you could always run away, strangle your wife, your wife could
|
|
always poison you, scooby dooby doo. It wasn't the rule, and I don't feel
|

like desintegrating into a nitpicking orgy. You win.

|

tree. You don't, so innovation is a global phenomenon.

So thought I, but apparently all it favours is a lot of whining about good
|

old times, the inability of youngn's to pay for your pension and the
|
|
health insurance, and the generic influx of uncouth furriners, which must
|
|
be stopped, Somehow.
