And WTF does that        IJ> have to do with dead people on Social Security.              It's the Left's lame excuse as to why they resist fixing Social Security.       And you are correct, it has nothing to do with dead people on Social Security.               IJ> If there is a problem fix it. If there is a potential vulnerability fix        IJ> it.              There are plenty of people out there who know COBOL and it's not hard to learn.        But Sub-Geek here isn't as "uber" as he thinks if he doesn't know that.               IJ> I think that some of the stuff we're going through right now is because        IJ> of the FBI being in DC. Each State has their local office and that        IJ> local office investigates crimes in their jurisdiction.              But the FBI's purview is FEDERAL crimes. So local law enforcement handles       crimes in their state/county/city. If the criminal does something (like drive       too much beer across state lines with a Trans-Am blocker), and it becomes a       Federal crime, then the FBI gets involved and usually works with the local law       enforcement to handle things.              But that's beyond the question of why they should have their headquarters in       DC. You would think, though, you would want your largest amount of resources       where there is the most crime.                     ... A short cut is the longest distance between two points.       ___ MultiMail/Linux v0.52              --- Mystic BBS/QWK v1.12 A47 2021/12/25 (Windows/32)        * Origin: cold fusion - cfbbs.net - grand rapids, mi (1:120/616)       SEEN-BY: 103/705 104/119 105/81 106/201 114/10 120/616 124/5016 128/187       SEEN-BY: 129/14 305 153/757 7715 154/10 30 50 110 700 203/0 218/700       SEEN-BY: 220/20 30 90 221/0 6 226/18 30 44 50 227/114 229/110 206       SEEN-BY: 229/300 307 310 317 400 426 428 470 700 705 240/1120 5832       SEEN-BY: 263/1 266/512 280/464 5003 5006 291/111 292/854 8125 301/1       SEEN-BY: 310/31 320/219 322/757 341/66 234 342/200 396/45 423/120       SEEN-BY: 460/58 256 1124 467/888 633/280 712/848 770/1 902/26 2320/105       SEEN-BY: 3634/12 5020/400 5054/30 5075/35       PATH: 120/616 154/10 280/464 460/58 229/426           |
