So, too, by the Taliban's estimation, are most human activities, but it's the ban on drugs that catches this administration's attention.&quot; &lt;i&gt;Hmmm.&lt;/i&gt;"/>

And since I'd like to get some work done this week, I decided to make this the first item. Heh. I also posted announcements on quite a few XML-oriented mail lists. Getting the news out to people is part of what we do, so it's on topic, even though we're all still obsessing about all that we're obsessing about. "/>

Ain't it beautiful? What if this was all you knew about the planet. How would you imagine the beings on the planet spend their days? Do you think they worry a lot about a building on the other side of the sphere? How many people do you think live there? 25? 250? You might be surprised to learn that most of the people on the planet live in this part. &lt;i&gt;Billions of people.&lt;/i&gt; Is it any wonder they're angry with each other? You would be too if it was so crowded! &quot;;-&gt;&quot;"/>
