Still drop in to look 
Over 12 mths in my new job and being removed from everyday exposure to all sorts of chemicals has improved my life-although not as much as I'd like.
We make the most of what we have I guess.
I have gone back to SimV just lately to catch up on things and it good to see some old names still there.
All the best to you,Dave.
Cheers,
Col.

Short essay is illuminating and explains much!
The Lawyers' Party
By Bruce Walker
The Democratic Party has become the Lawyers' Party. Barack Obama and
Hillary Clinton are lawyers. Bill Clinton and Michelle Obama are
lawyers. John Edwards, the other former Democrat candidate for
president, is a lawyer and so is his wife Elizabeth. Every Democrat
nominee since 1984 went to law school (although Gore did not
graduate.) Every Democrat vice presidential nominee since 1976,
except for Lloyd Benson, went to law school. Look at the Democrat
Party in Congress: the Majority Leader in each house is a lawyer.
The Republican Party is different. President Bush and Vice President
Cheney were not lawyers, but businessmen. The leaders of the
Republican Revolution were not lawyers. Newt Gingrich was a history
professor; Tom Delay was an exterminator; and Dick Armey was an
economist. House Minority Leader Boehner was a plastic manufacturer,
not a lawyer. The former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist is a heart
surgeon.
Who was the last Republican president who was a lawyer? Gerald Ford,
who left office thirty-one years ago and who barely won the Republican
nomination as a sitting president, running against Ronald Reagan in
1976. The Republican Party is made up of real people doing real work.
The Democratic Party is made up of lawyers. Democrats mock and scorn
men who create wealth, like Bush and Cheney, or who heal the sick like
Frist, or who immerse themselves in history like Gingrich.
The Lawyers' Party sees these sorts of people, who provide goods and
services that people want, as the enemies of America. And so we have
seen the procession of official enemies in the eyes of the Lawyers'
Party grow. Against whom do Hillary and Obama rail? Pharmaceutical
companies, oil companies, hospitals, manufacturers, fast food
restaurant chains, large retail businesses, bankers and anyone
producing anything of value in our nation.
This is the natural consequence of viewing everything through the eyes
of lawyers. Lawyers solve problems by successfully representing their
clients, in this case the American people. Lawyers seek to have new
laws passed, they seek to win lawsuits, they press appellate courts to
overturn precedent, and lawyers always parse language to favor their
side.
Confined to the narrow practice of law, that is fine. But it is an
awful way to govern a great nation. When politicians as lawyers begin
to view some Americans as clients and other Americans as opposing
parties, then the role of the legal system in our life becomes all
consuming. Some Americans become "adverse parties" of our very
government. We are not all litigants in some vast social class action
suit. We are citizens of a republic which promises us a great deal of
freedom from laws, from courts, and from lawyers.
Today, we are drowning in laws, we are contorted by judicial
decisions, we are driven to distraction by omnipresent lawyers in all
parts of our once private lives. America has a place for laws and
lawyers, but that place is modest and reasonable, not vast and
unchecked. When the most important decision for our next president is
whom he will appoint to the Supreme Court, the role of lawyers and the
law in America is too big. When lawyers use criminal prosecution as a
continuation of politics by other means, as happened in the lynching
of Scooter Libby and Tom Delay, then the power of lawyers in America
is too great. When House Democrats sue America in order to hamstring
our efforts to learn what our enemies are planning to do to us, then
the role of litigation in America has become crushing.
We cannot expect the Lawyers' Party to provide real change, real
reform or real hope in America. Most Americans know that a republic
in which every major government action must be blessed by nine
unelected judges is not what Washington intended in 1789. Most
Americans grasp that we cannot fight a war when ACLU lawsuits snap at
the heels of our defenders. Most Americans intuit that more lawyers
and judges will not restore declining moral values or spark the spirit
of enterprise in our economy.
Perhaps Americans will understand that change cannot be brought to our
nation by those lawyers who already largely dictate American society
and business. Perhaps Americans will see that hope does not come from
the mouths of lawyers but from personal dreams nourished by hard work.
Perhaps Americans will embrace the truth that more lawyers with more
power will only make more problems.

Reasoning with an Illegal Mexican
This is too good not to pass along!
Below is a good example of a discussion with a master of circular logic. Don't be logical, don't respect the truth or your adversary, just say what you think makes a new case when the previous case gets too difficult to defend. On the streets of downtown Houston, May 1, 2006.
Jim Moore reporting for a Houston TV station:
Jim: Juan, I see that you and thousands of other protesters are marching in the streets to demonstrate for your cause. Exactly what is your cause and what do you expect to accomplish by this protest?
Juan: We want our rights. We will show you how powerful we are. We will bring Houston to its knees!
Jim: What rights?
Juan: Our right to live here...legally. Our right to get all the benefits you get.
Jim: When did you come to the United States?
Juan: Six years ago. I crossed over the border at night with seven other friends.
Jim: Why did you come?
Juan: For work. I can earn as much in a month as I could in a year in Mexico. Besides, I get free health care, our Mexican children can go to school free, if I lose my job I will get Welfare, and someday I will have the Social Security. Nothing like that in Mexico!
Jim: Did you feel badly about breaking our immigration laws when you came?
Juan: No! Why should I feel bad? I have a right to be here. I have a right to amnesty. I paid lots of money for my Social Security and Green Cards.
Jim: How did you acquire those documents?
Juan: From a guy in Dallas. He charged me a lot of money too.
Jim: Did you know that those documents were forged?
Juan: It is of no matter. I have a right to be here and work.
Jim: What is the "right" you speak of?
Juan: The right of all Aliens. It is found in your Constitution. Read it!
Jim: I have read it, but I do not remember it saying anything about rights for Aliens.
Juan: It is in that part where it says that all men have Alien rights, like the right to pursue happiness. I wasn't happy in Mexico, so I came here.
Jim: I think you are referring to the declaration of Independence and that document speaks to unalienable rights .. Not Alien rights.
Juan: Whatever.
Jim: Since you are demanding to become an American citizen, why then are you carrying a Mexican Flag?
Juan: Because I am Mexican.
Jim: But you said you want to be given amnesty ... to become a US citizen.
Juan: No. This is not what we want. This is our country, a part of Mexico that you Gringos stole from us. We want it returned to its rightful owner.
Jim: Juan, you are standing in Texas. After wining the war with Mexico, Texas became a Republic, and later Texans voted to join the USA.
It was not stolen from Mexico.
Juan: That is a Gringo lie. Texas was stolen. So was California, New Mexico and Arizona. It is just like all the other stuff you Gringos steal, like oil and babies. You are a country of thieves.
Jim: Babies? You think we steal babies?
Juan: Sure. Like from Korea and Vietnam and China. I see them all over the place. You let all these foreigners in, but try to keep us Mexicans out. How is this fair?
Jim: So, you really don't want to become an American citizen then.
Juan: I just want my rights! Everyone has a right to live, work, and speak their native language wherever and whenever they please.
That's another thing we demand. All signs and official documents should be in Spanish . Teachers must teach in Spanish. Soon, more people here in Houston will speak Spanish than English. It is our right!
Jim: If I were to cross over the border into Mexico without proper documentation, what rights would I have there?
Juan: None. You would probably go to jail, but that's different.
Jim: How is it different? You said everyone has the right to live wherever they please.
Juan: You Gringos are a bunch of land grabbing thieves. Now you want Mexico too? Mexico has its rights. You Gringos have no rights in Mexico.
Why would you want to go there anyway? There is no free medical service, schools, or welfare there for foreigners such as you. You cannot even own land in my country. Stay in the country of your birth.
Jim: I can see that there is no way that we can agree on this issue.
Thank you for your comments.
Juan: Viva Mexico!
You will not see this heart-stopping photo on the front page of the NY Times or on the lead story of the major news networks.
The protestors put up the Mexican flag over the American flag flying upside down at Montebello High School in California.
I predict this stunt will be the nail in the coffin of any guest-worker/amnesty plan on the table in Washington. The image of the American flag subsumed to another and turned upside down on American soil is already spreading on In ternet forums and via e-mail.
Pass this along to every American citizen in your address books and to every representative in the state and federal government. If you choose to remain uninvolved, do not be amazed when you no longer have a nation to call your own nor anything you have worked for left since it will be "redistributed" to the activists while you are so peacefully staying out of the "fray".
Check history, it is full of nations/empires that disappeared when its citizens no longer held their core beliefs and values. One person CAN make a difference. One plus one plus one plus one plus one plus one........
The battle for our secure borders and immigration laws that actually mean something, however, hasn't even begun.
If this ticks YOU off...PASS IT ON!

Yup,.. I know what you go through.
It is hard for my sister to sit still when I'm performing
any task that takes a normal person would take seconds to do.
I do get very determined to do the task,....as if to say,...
"PD may slow me down but it doesn't prevent me from doing things."

G'day Dave,
The FSX Corsica scenery is great but I'm still there--must move on!! 
Anyway,after I'd been working at my new job long enough to figure I could handle it I went back to the gov't place to get off the books.
This is where I thought about you
This particular building makes me ILL By the time I got to the interview stage I was shaking so much I couldn't get the papers for my unemployment claim out of the folder after three tries. I had to stop,put everything down,concentrate and then slowly move things out.
My first thought was-"Hell. What must they think of me." The second was-"The hell with that!!!!"
I explained what was wrong,what I was doing and finally got the hell out of there,by which time I was a total wreck.
It is amazing the different reactions you get from people and I'll admit that I am now looking to see how they respond to me when I am obviously having a problem. I haven't got to the stage of doing a survey of who reacts in which way against job/social/ethnic background.
I think also that I am somewhat cocooned,surrounded by some very nice people.
Cheers,
Col.

True,.. History of the "christians" were bloody, pompus, etc.
But when some stand up and proclaim their religion is one of peace, while others are actively seeking death for those who do not share their faith, causes me to wonder what kind of "GOD" are they worshipping.

A man whose family was German aristocracy prior to World War Two owned a number of large industries and estates.When asked how many German people were true Nazis, the answer he gave can guide our attitude towards fanaticism.
"Very few people were true Nazis, "he said," but many enjoyed the return of German pride, and many more were too busy to care. I was one of those who just thought the Nazis were a bunch of fools. So the majority just sat back and let it all happen. Then, before we knew it, they owned us and we had lost control and the end of the
world had come. My family lost everything. I ended up in a concentration camp and the Allies destroyed my factories."
We are told again and again by "experts" and "talking heads" that Islam is the religion of peace and that the vast majority of Muslims just want to live in peace.
Although this unqualified assertion may be true, it is entirely irrelevant. It is meaningless fluff, meant to make us feel better and meant to somehow diminish the specter of fanatics rampaging across the globe in the name of Islam.
The fact is that the fanatics rule Islam at this moment in history.
It is the fanatics who march.
It is the fanatics who wage any one of 50 shooting wars worldwide.
It is the fanatics who systematically slaughter Christian or tribal groups throughout Africa and are gradually taking over the entire
continent in an Islamic wave.
It is the fanatics who bomb, behead, murder, or honour kill.
It is the fanatics who take over mosque after mosque.
It is the fanatics who zealously spread the stoning and hanging of rape victims and homosexuals.
The hard quantifiable fact is that the "peaceful majority", the "silent majority", is cowed and extraneous.
Communist Russia comprised Russians who just wanted to live in peace, yet the Russian Communists were responsible for the murde of about 20 million people. The peaceful majority were irrelevant.
China's huge population was peaceful as well, but Chinese
Communists managed to kill a staggering 70 million people.
The average Japanese individual prior to World War 2 was not warmongering sadist. Yet Japan murdered and slaughtered its way across South East Asia in an orgy of killing that included the systematic murder of 12 million Chinese civilians, mostly killed by sword, shovel and bayonet.
And, who can forget Rwanda, which collapsed into butchery? Could it not be said that the majority of Rwandans were "peace loving"?
History lessons are often incredibly simple and blunt, yet for all our powers of reason we often miss the most basic and uncomplicate of points: Peace-loving Muslims have been made irrelevant by their
silence.
Peace-loving Muslims will become our enemy if they don't speak up because. like my friend from Germany, they will awake one day and
find that the fanatics own them and the end of their world will
have begun.
Peace-loving Germans, Japanese, Chinese, Russians, Rwandans, Serbs, Afghans, Iraqis, Palestinians, Somalis, Nigerians, Algerians and
many others have died because the peaceful majority did not speak up until it was too late.
As for those of us who watch it all unfold; we must pay attention to th only group that counts -- the fanatics who threaten our way of life.
Lastly, at the risk of offending, anyone who doubts that the issue is serious and just deletes this e-mail can contribute to the
passiveness that allows the problems to expand.
So, extend yourself a bit and send this on. Let hope that thousands, world wide, read it and think about it.
