Surely France does not want to repeat their history at the 2002 World Cup; finishing at the bottom of Group A, just as Italy does not want to be “France in 2002”; a world champion who come home too soon. But true, this is not the World Cup, and the shame of being defeated by Romania might be less painful than defeated by debutant Senegal. alwaysaliahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15988615818900980202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2545150908146380315.post-60262136473805009822008-05-03T17:46:00.001+07:002008-05-03T17:59:44.370+07:00Open-mindedSaya baru selesai membaca buku Freakonomics karangan Steven D.

i remember reading this once:
the alchemist knew the legend of Narcissus, a youth who knelt daily beside a lake to contemplate his own beauty. he was so fascinated by himself that, one morning, he fell into the lake and drowned. at the spot where he fell, a flower was born, which was called the narcissus.

Al Gore may enjoy popularity as the runner up for Time's Person of the Year and the Nobel Co-laurate for his environmentalist move to promote global warming awareness by making documentary movie An Inconvenient Truth, but some people I know, apparently, think that his movie is a hoax or don't put the issue as something we have to overcome urgently.
