When I first glanced at the topic, I thought it was Buddhism . Man, I swear I was thinking, "wrong place for this topic, dude."

Does that link have "mission accomplished"??? Man, every hippy in Berkeley mocks at that line. They have street stalls on the weekend to sell stuff, and they make a lot of drawings mocking this line. I'll try to buy one, take a picture of it, and then post it here for you guys. Those drawings are really creative. And since I'm so 'creative', I love people who could make those drawings. [/i]
