Default It can't happen here.

Rolie's example can't be improved upon, but here's some more "trys":

1) We don't like Terrorists, right?

Kona Bay Girl stated most of our petrodollars don't fund Terror. But some does: http://slate.msn.com/?id=115757 (See Saudi, then Pakistan).

2) We all agree that China should never deploy an aircraft carrier. (But we buy computers, air conditioners, tents, and toys made in monolithic China because there are few other market alternatives today).

3) Librarians don't want men in big coats at the library's computers. (But they allow it because they're compelled to).

They, like Fay, are not hypocrites. Big Boats on Winnipesaukee are the Big Coats in libraries.

Actually, her hubby was at the helm, and was absolved. (But the Jet-Skier remains dead).

Read it again: the collision I posted isn't two weeks old yet. It's the exact kind of collision that Merrill Fay fears for his rentals.

BTW, What does a bear helping himself to Rainier Beer in Seattle have to do with Winnipesaukee? A purple-and-gold carburetor in New Jersey? Back yard chickens? Lake Hopsalong?

Actually, I like -- and welcome -- the mix of threads here. But just because you complain about it, I'm not going to post the latest addition to lake water done by the enviro-friendly Dave Matthews Band.
