Why do y'all have a compulsion to earn the label "lower 48"?
(If it's to show why we're the "top ten" then such efforts are appreciated)

According to the Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union, Canada
has the unilateral right to join the U.S. (presumably only as a single
state) since that provision was not altered by the Constitution.

In the USofA there are Incorporated Areas and Un-Incorporated Areas.

why is it that only the Yankistanis on this NG are too functionally
illiterate to realise that Eli Pariser wrote the shtick that appears
on paksplace, and that I was only pointing the kind of rabble-rousing
rhetoric that one will find there? But at least give Eli credit
where credit is due: his rhetoric certainly succeeds at rousing the
rabble from the "lower" 48. (Guess that makes Canada the "higher 10" eh?)

Hey, may be everyone in town should have been given a 'free'
Bell&Howell Shortwave Radio so that Washington DC could have broadcast
a "Special Alert" via shortwave directly to them.

What happen to the good old days to Alert the People of the Town:
* The Towns 'Civil Defense' Warning Siren would sound.
* Fire Station Bells and Sirens would Sound a Warning.
* Church Bells would Ring and Sound a Warning.
* Telephones would Ring as Neigbors and Families Passed the Word of
Warning.
* The Police Cars, Fire Trucks and others would simply drive down the
street with their sirens on and lights flashing to wake the people.

BUY NO . . .
We Have to Blame It All on the Evil FCC (Bad Government)

Honestly, it would appear that the Town of Minot needs to have an
Election and put public officials into office who know how to run a
'safe' little town properly.


NOTE: Looks like the two North Dakota Senators and Congressman under 8
years of President Bill Clinton did not diliver the goods.
- Kent Conrad, Democrat - US Senator - North Dakota.
- Byron Dorgan, Democrat - US Senator - North Dakota.
- Earl Pomeroy, Democrat - US Representative At Large - North Dakota.


Balanced Government is Good Government [.]
- A One Party System is Not Good Government.
- - A One Party System is About Maintaining the Political Power of the
Party.
