Online Takeout Delivery is Back

SeamlessWeb is here (or rather, in New York, Chicago, Washington, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Los Angeles and southern Connecticut) to take your take-out orders and deliver the food. All is done via their Web site so no need to look for that takeout menu: "SeamlessWeb charges restaurants a commission of 5 percent to 15 percent, while the business pays a 2.5 percent fee for each transaction.

http://costofwar.com/ says we're up to $176 billion for the cost of this war. Most of which, by the way, went straight into the pockets of the fat cats in the military-industrial complex...
The CIA World fact book says the US spent not even $7 billion in foreign aid in 1997 (http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geo
So, to offset the cost of the war would take not one but at least 18 years. And we're not done yet in Iraq...
Why don't you go and study up on math and common sense. And while you're at it, it sounds like you need a good dose of basic human values too. For starters, stop watching Fox News, and start listening to NPR. Maybe you'll get some notion of what things are really like in the world that way. Someday. Hopefully.
