Hi B,

>She is planning to go on Jan.26, and I am worried!<

Stop worrying. The threat, if there actually is one, will be over by then.>

Ira - do you mean the threat will be over or if it's an actual threat the Chunnel may no longer be operable then if the threat is there is would have succeeded by then?

>do we see enhanced security measures after 7/7 on London Underground? No, aside from more noticeable metropolitan police presence. <

So the extra cops are just chopped liver?

>"I have had friends die in car accidents, of cancer, of many things - but none in a terror attack."

I have.<

Me too, but that doesn't increase my risk of being involved in a terror incident.

"Or if you are in Brazil perhaps I shouldn't go to a place where the murder rate is 3 times that of even the US - or 10 times that of the UK."

Alan, please do continue to think like that. Let us keep Brazil free of rude tourists!

Curt, you should watch FOX NEWS -- you might learn something. Fair & Balanced.

BUDMAN - what say we pop open a couple of cold ones and discuss the ups and downs of FOX NEWS - you can try to convince why it is good and I can try to convince why it is bad and we can agree to disagree and have a few more brewskies before we go our own ways......

Curt, then why is Fox so popular and its ratings so high? Does that mean tens of millions are not in thier right minds? I watch all the cable channels and it was not just on Fox.

Fox babes rule!

It would take some darn good beer to get me to go to NJ!

The real question is who the heck doesn't watch Fox? Have you seen the low ratings MSNBC gets? Maybe two people watch at night and they got to be relatives of the show hosts.

True, but I'm sure they felt the same way.

If I remember correctly, Budman is a wine drinker.
