The problem in the US is that copyright is often controlled by conglomerates, not the artist who created the work. All the more reason to shorten the duration of copyright. Look at the way the record industry is. They strong-arm artists into one-sided contracts at one end and then lobby Congress to extend copyrights and induce penalties for so-called copyright infringement on the other end. At least I'm not the only one who has noticed this. -- Transpose hotmail and mxsmanic in my e-mail address to reach me directly. |

No - he doesn't like beer. Probably doesn't like Belgium or the Netherlands either. So that's Benelux, Germany, America, Britain ... he doesn't like. America ?? They don't sell beer over there |

Although most Europeans are exposed to the nasty cheap mass-market swill that passes for "beer" in the USA, there are in fact a *lot* of very small breweries that make very credible beers in many styles. We have ales that would please British beer drinkers, decent lagers, even special beers quite similar to Belgian styles. Do you know of any outlets in New England ? We also get imports in good shape from all over Europe. If I want European Beer - I go to Europe :-) |

No - he doesn't like beer. Probably doesn't like Belgium or the Netherlands either. So that's Benelux, Germany, America, Britain ... he doesn't like. Well, let's see. He claims to like people, but dislikes actually interacting with real live humans. He probably also likes water, but doesn't like drinking or touching it because it's wet. And of course, he eats McDonald's and other fast-food hamburgers from time to time, even though he claims not to eat meat. I think there's a certain place in Paris getting regular deliveries of extraordinarily powerful crack cocaine, if you know what I mean, and I think you do. Are you thinking what I'm thinking ? |

We have ales that would please British beer drinkers, decent lagers, even special beers quite similar to Belgian styles. Just last evening, I was enjoying a cask-conditioned barleywine strength ale of exceptional character. Not a typical session beer by any means, certainly, but a well-crafted, well-made beer made in a city 300km south of where I live (which also has several small breweries making well-crafted, well-made beers.) We also get imports in good shape from all over Europe. I have a bunch of them cooling right now in preparation for a tasting session this evening. -- dgs |
