It is dishonest to sign a treaty that you don't intend to honor.  I fully
support Bush not signing the treaties that I've heard of him not signing.  In
particular, while I think that emisions need to come down, the Kyoto treaty
really sounds bad.  Any treaty regarding IP also probably is one that 
shouldn't be signed.  And what was that one about enforcing foreign rules on
the internet?

I think that is a stupid rule.  And the only thing worse than stupid, unjust
rules is stupid and unjust rules that are twisted for purposes other than 
intended.  The whole war on drugs has to go.

On a related note, it is way too hard to kick people out of apartments, even
if it does save people like DaveM from idiots afraid of technology.  I know
people who made the mistake of owning apartment buildings in "inner city"
Lancaster, and they end up spending endless amounts of money because of tenets
who intentionally trash the place, but who are extremely difficult and 
expensive to evict.
