I am concerned about the environment. That is why I'll NEVER buy a new, aluminium framed bike. Smelting bauxite to produce aluminium for bicycle frames requires phenominal amounts of energy.

Wasn't it amazing how well Kissinger could negotiate when a couple of aircraft carriers were sitting just out of terrorial waters.

Edit: I'm suffering from ebay rage, looking for the category to advertise a computer table so it can be recycled to another home.
