It seems like a bad idea to have a ratio instead of just gold certificates and silver certificates and maybe a daily exchange rate. Do you (...) (23 years ago, 4-Mar-02, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

OTOH, there are many disadvantages to the use of hypodermic syringes (sp?): #1- There is a larger risk to contract diseases (AIDS, Hepatitis,...) from a needle than there is from a syringe; #2- It is possible to vent a room easily, but is is (...)
