(And no, I don't believe the official stories, but I don't believe any of the other stories either) But since I'm from Los Angeles, the collapse (or for that matter the construction) of a skyscraper isn't something I can take seriously.  Hell, I disapprove of and won't go near the towers they built in my hometown.  (Don't like to be showered by hundreds of feet of broken glass when the Earth moves)

I'm trying to decide what you're saying here.  Are you disagreeing with
something I said?  I don't think so.  And I don't think you're counted
amongst those freaks in Oklahoma or wherever who think there should be
an amendment to ban gay marriage, and that criticizing the government is
"anti-American."  So what exactly are you trying to say? :)

Where in Jersey are you, anyway?

And yes, I pay nearly $10 a pack these days.  Not to mention nearly
$400,000 for a tiny studio in midtown... everything's 'spensive, Lucy.
