Unless he or she wants to marry someone with the same genitalia. Unless she wants an abortion or to even consider an abortion.. The list goes on. To be fair the democrats are merely the other side of the same coin. The two party system is a joke in the U.S. Each side works their ass off to destroy or at least paralyze the other side, with little consideration of the negative affects to the country and the vast majority of the citizens. It's all about winning and wiping out anyone who doesn't think and act like >insert major party here. As demonstrated most recently by the health care "debate".

"PS - Plus Boeing aircraft have crashed over five times more than Airbus Aircraft (but are also much more popular, so reading the above it isn't surprising)." Interesting. Citation?

I'm sorry, this very serious subject makes me think only of a Cheech and Chong bit; "Listen, don't answer the phone, even if it's me calling!"

Absolutely correct and as this industry is in extreme growth mode from almost zero, there's simply more of it's equipment being shipped. For example oil refineries; new vessels and columns, or pieces of vessels are just as difficult to transport overland, its just that many refineries are barge accessible too. And we are not building new refineries in the US.

Yes! Apollo / Saturn revived? Please don't start in folks with the "lost plans" objection. There are 2 or 3 Saturns left. They can't fly, but they can be disassembled for reverse engineering. Make the first and possibly the second stage recoverable.

Perhaps they and their loved ones believe that if death is staved off long enough a "miracle" healing will occur or a cure will be found. I've had discussions with several believers along this line and these are a couple of the reasons they vehemently oppose the right of individuals to chose suicide (yes the "sanctity of human life" plays in that too but one must "never give up").

Probably have the passwords. Just wait a couple of days until they arrive.
