Anyway, I don't think there should be a minimum age requirement for taking a driving test and buying and driving a motor vehicle. Instead, I think people should be required to have children first and be in a long-standing monogamous relationship.

If they can handle that sort of responsibility, they MIGHT be mature enough to get behind the wheel. The current model certainly doesn't work.

I read a Vietnam war conspiracy theory the other day that I wasn't previously familiar with.

According to this, the North Vietnamese convinced the Vietcong to undertake the Tet offensive in the full knowledge that it would most likely fail with huge VC losses. They did this to purge the VC ranks of South Vietnamese communists, who might decide one day that they didn't want to be controlled by the northerners, and replace the losses with loyal comrades fresh off the Ho Chi Minh Trail.

Sounds almost diabolical enough to be true...

Sounds like soneone cut you off in traffic again!

That wouldn't work in this country. We encourage people to marry later than 15 (the age you get your licence). And what about those of us who don't have kids? I guess you'd never want me to drive.

That sounds VERY true to me. People who revolted against their goverment once, could do it again.

I have heard of this diabolical plot before and it makes sense to a degree.

Back from Pittsburgh at 0230 last night and sitting at my desk. I'm on my 3rd cup of coffee and still having trouble focusing on the tons of email I need to catch up on from just being out of the office for one day. Someone pass a couple of toothpicks that I can use to prop my eyelids open.

The kids played fantastic this weekend! They brought home runner up medals after a very close fought 2-1 loss in the championship game. Lots of proud parents and tired kids.

As always, I'm sorry to hear that there is no improvement in Claire's condition, Eric.

Have the doctors been able to give you any information or diagnosis about what is causing the problems, or are all of the mind problems triggered by her other physical health issues? I sure hope the doctors are able to come up with a treatment plan for her that will help.
