Say I see someone about to commit a murder, and stop them from doing so, would the police arrest me? If it's wrong to stop someone from speeding (and being caught for it), then the answer is clearly "Yes". You will have obstructed the police. Let me get this straight, you think I would be arrested for preventing a murder?

Knives were up sharply. Cows steered into a bull market. Pencils lost a few points. Hiking equipment was trailing. Elevators rose, while escalators continued their slow decline. Weights were up in heavy trading. Light switches were off. Mining equipment hit rock bottom. Diapers remain unchanged. Shipping lines stayed at an even keel. The market for raisins dried up. Coca Cola fizzled. Caterpillar stock inched up a bit. Sun peaked at midday. Balloon prices were inflated. And, Scott Tissue touched a new bottom. Invest wisely! |

Going to France is too common, And there is no ferry to it from Hull. my favourite country is Romania. It has all the beauty of France but has not been spoiled by excessive tourism. Despite that, you might still be able to get Hofmeister and a vindaloo there. |
