That commission didn't "measure" any other jurisdiction so what are you talking about? And because there was "a massive investigation into it" doesn't mean it's worse than elsewhere, if anything it implies the contrary.

Nissan's CVT seem to be a counterexample of everything in your first paragraph.

I could also bring a lot of counterexamples to your second paragrah (e.g.: many german cars).

Hi, my name is reactor and I'm an addict.

I can concur, I'm going on two months of sobriety from alcohol and stimulants tomorrow morning, only on using the 1st three steps and my employer's EAP. For now, the 1st three steps are enough to get me going plus an intense fear of where I was headed for (jails or institutions or death). I know I will have to ask for help to complete the 4th step but I still don't talk a lot at the meetings beside presenting myself when I'm asked so this will come when I'm ready or meet a suitable sponsor I guess. Maybe I will ask publicly if someone is looking for a "protégé" - is that the right word? - and would be interested to help me when I go get my 2 months' key ring on Saturday evening. I think it would avoid the awkwardness of asking to many people. Anyway, what Cliff is saying is exactly right as far as I can tell so far..

* I'm also reading Russell Brand's book on the 12 steps, it's called "Freedom from Our Addictions". It's a very good "update" for newer generations about what the 12 steps are and why you should follow them if you need to.

reactor4··on Female Congressional Candidate Ends Run After Being Accused of Sexual Harassment
That's the thing though, the goals are constantly shifting and you cannot make assumptions about how other people are going to react. For example when you say "I can ask either sex if they are interested in forming a non-business relationship and then go back to a business relationship if they say no." I really feel that in the current climate this is a very risky move to make.

This method, it was called the "love-in" [1], was used by the Canadian government in 1995. It was illegal as hell as it was a blatant violation of election spending laws.

Some people say it was counterproductive but the proof is in the pudding I guess.
