And you have, many, many times before. Interestingly enough, you always
get the same answers, too.

As I've said before, why not indeed? For that matter, why not ///?

I mean, it's not like a speed limit sign significantly effects the speed
at which people choose to drive...

Do you? Why?

Clearly, you've never taken a stat class...

Wrong. _Many_ things changed.

No - no one has ever explained it. You just make stuff up like the
yellow lying dogs you are. And BTW, mister tough guy - why aren't you
serving in iraq right now.????

Ah, I see; you don't know how to click on a URL? How did you ever manage
to figure out how to use Google Groups?

If you did bother to click on the links, you'd see two examples of Jim
explaining it to you. Just because you've never read it doesn't mean
people haven't explained it.

Why should I be?

Just because you don't understand it, or choose not to listen, does
not mean it hasn't been explained.

>yellow lying dogs you are. And BTW, mister tough guy - why aren't you

Lying yellow dogs? How about this:

Hey dood. I've been a US senator since 98! You mean you didn't know
that???

What state did you represent? Retardedness, homosexuality, hypocrisy,
and pedophilia do not count, liar.

>serving in iraq right now.????

Why aren't you in Iraq right now, considering your desire to live
under a dictatorship?
