It seems off-topic and destructive, but why not just wait ten more years, the private Learjets need to land on a beautiful turquoise water with no land (but lots of plastic garbage) upon it instead) by then. In fact that was my yesterdays first thinking: ah! i did not know this is still inhabitable! And it is good that the elite takes so many efforts, and cares. (In case this is of interest, i was not in holiday at all, but i met our local deer in the industrial forest we have here; he is still accompanied with his long time girl friend, and both are alive and well, even though winter is very hard! (Do not believe anything you read regarding animal relationships in school books! And photos are liars.)) --steffen | |Der Kragenbaer, The moon bear, |der holt sich munter he cheerfully and one by one |einen nach dem anderen runter wa.ks himself off |(By Robert Gernhardt)
