excellent point, I believe the specific point was that China demanded an apology for invading and killing one of their pilots, which our gov is staunchly denying. Were we at fault? Who knows, there are even stories running sround about how the chinese pilot was screaming to shoot down the american plane, and tried to prevent it from returning home once it was damaged. Something tells me that we may never know the full details until disclosure kicks in, but regardless, if niceties were all that were required, I think this would have been over long since. We Yanks may be arrogant, but we're not exactly stupid.
Nor do I have documentation, but I recall reading an article that said that purring was a method that cats used to communicate to Mom that they were ok while nursing.
I bought a very low end DVD player (KLH $99 @ Best Buy), and when I got home I was pleasantly surprised to find that it read DVD, CD, CD-R, CD-RW, and VCD. None of which was advertised on the box. Granted KLH is primarily an audio manufacturer, but hey, I was happy.
