I'm not familiar with BART. How does it differ from DC's Metro? I'm not sure about the salient differences, but as a one-time BART commuter (and a BART user as recently as three weeks ago) there's no problem paying with cash for a paper ticket just like DC Metro. miguel -- Hit The Road!

On Terror
Terror.
I'm canadian, so you'll have to excuse my... ignorance? What exactly constitutes an act of terror? Does CNN have to report it as having been the work of known terrorists before it's considered terrorism? Does it have to be political? The nature of the word leads me to believe that any action that is intended to produce 'terror' is an act of terorrism. Recent examples of acts meant to insight terror include: The USA's "Shock and Awe" campaign and ensueing and continuing armed conflict. Todd Bertuzzi's Sucker Punch on Steve Moore. My Ex-Girlfriend threatening to go on an unchecked spending orgy until my credit is maxed out and worthless. I'd appreciate some American insight on this issue... according to popular media, we're living in an era where terrorism runs rampid. So much so that everyone's ready to sign their freedom away to make sure they don't get terrorized. Canada has been mentioned repeatedly as the terrorist entry point to the US and a possible terrorist target. It would be nice to know what to watch for. A.funk --multiplaza.nl.nu-- |
