    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    Oh, and we're one of the top states in alternative energy/fuel sources and education. But not like America really cares about those things.
    It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

    I think Strike really has snow idea what a proper winter looks like.

    But fear not! We all know nothing is beyond Texans:

    Utilizing new (and fairly new/old) technology to lower surrounding air temperatures, create a new snowflex snow, among many other things...they're creating a year-round snow park resort in Texas. Complete with their own 35 acre, 250ft tall manmade mountain.

    Whatever guys, Vermont still offers far better winters. That may come to an end with global warming though...And your resort probably causes global warming!

    Wonder if it will snow on Mauna Kea, it didn't last year so I missed out on the only snow I could have seen in a few years.

    Oh well, sunny and in the mid 70s today!

    Four stage strategy from Yes, Minister:
    Stage one we say nothing is going to happen.
    Stage two, we say something may be about to happen, but we should do nothing about it.
    Stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there's nothing we can do.
    Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it's too late now.
