Nostradamus's quatraines were so broad that many things could be read into them. As for the patriot act, I have not lost any freedoms because of it. If the government wants to tap my phone they still have to get a warrant signed by a Judge. I don't plan on committing a Felony or any of the few misde...

You can carry any folder. But if the blade locks open it can not be carried concealed with the blade open. Also you can not carry a fixed blade concealed.

I have been using the mini cd's for several years. I have a Sony digital camera that burns pictures directly to them. They have finally gotten cheap, about .29 cents each. I also use them at work to make boot disks that are not a pain to carry.

Ya just got to love them drug induced 60's songs.
