[Senator Pardek]

I saw the necklace thread, btw. It's enough to make one weep.

At first, I thought you were referring to some thread concerning atrocities committed by the ANC is SA.

Then I sez to myself "hey Pardek, this is FR 2001 - you're thinking (at least) one level too deep!!!"

LOL ... you're more wicked than I.

Actually, as for necklacing ... it's happened more than once here in New Orleans since I've been here.

We're more like "de islands" than the U.S., IMHO.

Funny you bring up the ANC, though.

I've just wasted about 10 minutes scanning through a LENGTHY Do's and Don'ts for ANC members re: keeping safe sensitive materials, keeping an eye peeled for surveillance and keeping alive by steering clear of car bombs and other booby traps. Interesting, actually.
