I'm certainly not a potential astronaut but thanks for the thought! A
potential killer? Oh, you bet. Especially of capitalists, bill collectors,
and people who refuse to read history.

In this particular "theatre" of history, the saintly Kosovar Albanians are
giving it to the few remaining Serbs, not to mention any other Ethnic group
who they happen to regard as a threat on any given day. The Croats gave it
to the Serbs big time during the second world war and their actions in the
recent Bosnian war have been well documented if not well reported, the
Serbs being the villians du jour.

In the Balkans there are no good guys and no bad guys, just tribal hatreds,
a lot of sad people, and the sound heard in the background of Tito spinning
in his grave.
