You ask a geneticist what race is and she'll say, .....Race is scientifically meaningless. Take any population in comparison to any other population, and you'll find as much genetic diversity within each as between the two.....You ask a philosopher what race is and he'll say, Race is a fallacy. The concept is incoherent and self-contradictory, not to mention pernicious.... You ask a social scientist what race is and she'll say, ..Look, race may not have a genetic or metaphysical basis, but it is a social fact. Another will reply, ...Yes, but it's of declining significance in the new global economy.... Another will chime in, ...It's an epiphenomenon of class...Another will say, ...It's a social construction that must be viewed as it interrelates with and cross-cuts others like class, gender, sexuality, and religion.

Celia...I have been having the blahs also...thats why i started to think of what really got me excided.
Sorry things are not that great with you.
Don't they have a gym where your at...for aerobics ,swimming and sauna?
You can still go jogging.
I just learned how to ski and love it!! Even though I'm not very good at it and oh ..yeah , I love to swim and I like to go hiking also.
My bf never likes to go anywhere...so I have to push myself to go do things by myself or with friends or i end up depressed.
I think its sad when people forget what makes them happy.Too bad your not my nieghbor

This is what i would do. When you are between getting your cab...I would first start by making business cards. You can make them real easy on your computer for next to nothing (doesn't have to be fancy) I would print off some maps of the main touristy areas.I would staple a card to the map.
When you are driving the cab I would give each passenger a map with the card. I would be very polite (your greeting is very important...don't worry about sounding geeky....people love politness...Hello Mis ....sir...you know) If they are quiet ...you be quiet..If they seem chatty....chat back...but stop if they do...follow their lead(You get where you can read people) When you stop to let them off...tell them " "have a good evening, day" whatever.. and say" when you need a ride again just ask for me" ...the name is on the card.
You will get where you know las vegas like the back of your hand(about one year) You will be able tell people the best places to eat...hotels...entertainment on and on...You will eventually build your cliental by giving out the cards and MOST important...being POLITE...an almost lost art.
Trust me I did this for three years and I'm so glad I got through the first 6 months...because after that ...it just gets easier and easier and the tips get bigger and bigger.
E-mail me if you want...I could tell you some of the stupidest things I did and for about the first 4 months how everyday i just wanted to quit.

Morality Q. Would You Betray Diana For 10 M?
by Englishman injames hewitt has outraged public opinion by offering to sell princess diana's reputedly very sexy love letters that she once penned to him so ardently.
he wants a cool ten million pounds, that's about $16m.. oddly, in a sky news poll, the question "would you sell her love letters for 10 million pounds?
" has revealed that 48% of brits would do so if they had the opportunity.. the situation is further complicated by prince harry's extraordinary resemblence to hewitt, although hewitt denies that he is the lads real father.. my q is this: would you sell the letters for 10 million pounds if they were yours to sell?.

I agree with gsx...Her so called charity work consisted of visiting poor countries and makeing sure the cameras where on her ..her clothes where always emaculant and her make-up perfect. I believe Mother Treasa should have gotten more coverage (on her death)for her charity work...she really rolled up her sleeves and went to work...slept on cold floors and comforted the sick.Goes to show how shallow the general public is.
Diana betrayed her children for sexual gratification...I believe she failed the morality test...by far!
Answer to your question...yes i would "betray" her...and give the money to charity!!
