How, pray tell, does an Austrian rely on the U.S. military for his freedoms?

(For sure one can discuss your statement, but I won't do it, it only brings
up the same boring arguments.)

And the price for that is a free ticket for the US to do what they please?
No thank you.

so lowered Americans' opinions of Europeans.

Nah...it's just lowered our opinion of Martin. I can't believe the rest of
Europe is filled with such bigoted idiots, though I'm sure Martin's not the
only one.

Most of what Martin posts to this newsgroup is stupid "I hate America" crap.
I don't know why anyone is still reading him.

Oh, finally somebody who comes up as a speaker for more than himself. :-)

IMHO (speaking of the USofA) I'm one of the ones who can keep the land, the
general public and politics separate. There are many others, but less than
there are in your country with your mindset.

*Whow* ... how impressing. how stupid, and how wrong. :-)

you know, the free world.

This is one reason why Europe will launch their own satellites.

What happened to GLONAS? Might be cheaper to pay the Russians to rejuvenate that.

I was going to ask that. I've never even seen a GLONASS receiver. It's still
out there though with fairly recent launches.

There were supposed to be super-accurate receivers on the market which
used both GLONASS and GPS as each system has different inaccuracies.

But the problem still remains. You can be reliant on GPS or on GLONASS
or on both, but you're still reliant on one or two foreign governments.
