Do you really have to ask that??? The coruption has been there from the start! This little seed of an idea came from the same guy that was going to set sail on the high seas in a pirate sub for gods sake!!!

Look, I will jump out of planes, I will even do HALO jumps, BUT I draw the line at loops, barrel rolls, etc. I like the idea of looking DOWN at the ground, but not DOWN at the ground through the top of the canopy, or directly in front of the pilot... or any other way that does not keep my head and feet oriented in the proper direction toward the ground as per the laws of gravity, and this snake eater does not go in for high gee turns... primarily because the experience would quit probably worsen my back condition.

Piracy is not a corrupt enterprise. There are strict rules of conduct on each ship, these are known as "Ship's Articles."
Furthermore, all is fair in diplomacy, if you have to use friendly persuasion to get the other country to agree, by all means do so. Personally, I feel that blackmailing the political leadership with scandalous photographs would probably get the same result.
Now, as far as political corruption, I have yet to see on example of anything of the sort. As the Chief of the Bureau of State Security, which means I am also the chief investigator for the Justice Ministry, the problem of corruption would of course be investigated fully.

Yeah, I heard about the weird weather in Europe and Australia.Originally posted by Deepbluewolf:
I know what you mean...i havent seen my cat in a few days, shes afraid of thunder too and the weather is also pretty bad here in germany, we even had TORNADOSgo figure...
By this time of the year, the weather pattern in this part of Texas settles into the long, hot, dry days of summer, punctuated by the occasional super cell thunderstorm producing tornadoes.
Personally, I think that the strange weather patterns are some sort of diabolical plan hatched by someone to keep me from doing any yard work (I suspect my sister and physical therapists are behind this plot)
I mean, just because I strained my back by trying to move some landscaping timbers by myself that resulted in a 3 day hospital stay is no reason to try and limit my outdoor activities in the yard, is it?
Okay, so I am not supposed to lift more than 20 pounds, and I am supposed to wear a brace for my back and knee braces (by the way, those braces are as uncomfortable as all hell,) and running a chainsaw when you have to use a cane to walk may not be the best idea in the world, BUT...
I have been working around this place since I was ten, (well back then we had 100 acres, now it is only two, the rest got sold when mom and dad got a divorce) But I put up every fence post around this yard, planted everyone one of my late mother's rose bushes, dug up more cactus (you know, the prickly pear and yucca cactus I dig up and burn is selling for boucoup bucks up in damn yankee land?)
And, as we all know, under the JWROMH (John Wayne Rules of Manhood,) I have to pull my own weight, and cannot just sit around and do nothing. Hell, I dont know how to just sit around and do nothing....
I mean, granted, I keep mom's roses up in her memory (never understood why you grow something you cant eat) and I do have a herb garden for my cooking... but there is more to keeping this place looking decent than just that.

I know how the braces feel...my little "incident" with 2 Seagulls that decided they wanted a closer look at my aircraft, left me wearing those for 3 months...in adition to various casts and bandages and wires in my jaw...how they ever let me fly afterwords i still wonder...well look on the bright side...(im sure there is one, for people kept telling me so) you get to play all SH4 you want

As Minister of Finance and Justice I have an idea of how we can get the "seed" money we need to get this little idea off the ground.
If you've ever seen the movie The Mouse That Roared, you will understand the basic premise. In the movie, a tiny country is in financial trouble. They come up with a plan to "attack" the US, knowing they will lose, but then become eligible for foreign aid.
I propose we take the Tango and set sail for Miami. After attacking several jet skis, we surface and surrender. As part of the foreign aid package we ask for Interstate Highway funds (what the hell, they gave it to Hawaii). We could also declare ourselves some sort of indian tribe (The Fugarewe's comes to mind) and open a casino.
To keep the balance of payments in a favorable balance we can export sand. We get the left coast air heads to believe that our natural sand produces environmentally friendly sand paper.
We could probably also become a cruise ship destination port, but I am still working on a way to rip them off, oops, sorry, I mean a way to maximize their income potential.
