<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have bad sinus problems and from the first time I
ever went to Lewiston I realized that I got a bad headache from the sudden drop
of altitude. Since I had family in Spokane I go north not south. Yes, there is a
change in altitude but it isn't as sudden. It has nothing to do with
who or how many live there. You are not nearly as good as judging me or my lack
of anything as you might think. It seems to me that you would all do better to
stop personalizing posts and deal with the issues. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I would like to ask why there has been no call from
any democrat about the head of the UN. He has done one of the most corrupt jobs
recently and you are all so busy chasing Bush and Brown that you are letting the
UN off the hook. I know there have been priorities lately but this is a real
problem also. </FONT></DIV>
