Was just about to ask how much you paid him to say that.

He has also spent time in Ukraine.

DGuller's world view may be:
New York - like the New York he used to live in.
New Jersey - like the New Jersey he lives in.
Rest of the World - Ukraine.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Are you sure? Better polluted than humid. Hong Kong, OTOH, is just screwed.

Better polluted?  Certainly not from my perspective.  I have been in LA on days I could barely breath.  And Vancouver isnt exactly humid  ;)

Connecticut and New Jersey are quite alike.
