moonshineshadow: If you want real good chocolate you should come to visit Switzerland. Often things countries are famous for are exaggerated, but I have to say the chocolate here is really deserving it.

LaPtiteBete: Hello Ghost !! :)
What game are you expecting ?
Here all is well too... ! restful evening in sight...

LaPtiteBete: Lunchtime !! :-D
Great to hear you finally enjoy some warming sunshine...
Bah... a cold is not a big deal... And yes, it Moon's all fault !!

GhostwriterDoF: Ah, one of the rewards of running everything like a business. Healthcare should really not be run "like a business", anywhere in the world. The Public Sector must be separate from the Private Sector, and it is the Public Sector that oversees the business interests, for protecting the interests of everyone.

Civics is the administration of people and society. whilst the interests of Business is wholly unscrupulous. There has never been a time in human history when business leaders could be trusted. That is why contracts were invented and governing bodies and laws were formed to enforce those contracts.

The nature of business interests is primarily to pursue profits, and is wholly unscrupulous, without regulations or a threat of prosecution for crimes that might be committed. Which, with all the business leaders getting into political positions and making appointments of their other business associates into positions as Judges and Attorney Generals, the private sector has all but eliminated civics from society. They have even gone into Educational Institutions from kindergarten to college, and removed civics from the curriculums.

When Government provides a service, the administrative costs are 3 to 5% of operations. When services are privatized the administrative costs are 30 to 40%, and the revenue goes mostly to the top executives, as they
try to find ways to cheat their workers and consumers to give themselves higher salaries and bonuses.

By the by, I'm in Southern California.

Stilton: We have 'Swiss' chocolate here, but I'm not sure how authentic it is. Can you suggest any brands I should look out for, because if there is one thing I am rather partial to, it is good chocolate ;-)

CarrionCrow: Maybe so, but you need to fight off the effects. Don't let crack keep you from beating a fondly remembered game from your past.
Force those shattered synaptic connections to take a detour around the burned out parts. =)

Additional - finished off DOW2 again a couple days ago. Now gearing up to turn the "we're the Space Marines, we're so great, the Emperor is soooooooo wonderful" dipshits into the biggest pack of Chaos-worshipping freakjobs the galaxy's ever seen. >=)

moonshineshadow: It is not all my fault. If you do not keep your antivirus updated to that it lets through some nasty stuff it is also your fault :P

moonshineshadow: There are a lot of different ones and for example the chocolate from Lindt has gotten quite commercial and not all products from them are awesome anymore (still good but not great).

Personally I really like the ones from Sprüngli or Frey.

moonshineshadow: Check your pms. I am unsure about the game so I'll let you test it :D

Stilton: I agree, Lindt does seem to have become a bit too commercial. But I'll search out the others. When I visit Switzerland (and I've wanted to for some time) I will buy vast boxes of chocolate to take home with me.
