Actually, I'm fairly certain that mass doesn't need to be conserved in a close system. It's mass-energy that's conserved; i.e. think about what would happen if a quantity of anti-matter were introduced into the system.

Dear Red States... b,121b,121We've decided we're leaving. We intend to form our own country, and b,121we're taking the other Blue States with us. b,121b, 21In case you aren't aware, that includes Hawaii, Oregon,Washington, b,121Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois and all the Northeast. We b,121believe this split will be beneficial to the nation, and especially b, 21to the people of the new country of New California. b,121b,121To sum up briefly: You get Texas, Oklahoma and all the slave states. b,121We get stem cell research and the best beaches. We get Elliot b,121Spitzer. You get Ken Lay. b,121b,121We get the Statue of Liberty. You get Dollywood. b,121We get Intel and Microsoft. You get WorldCom. b,121We get Harvard. You get Ole' Miss. b,121We get 85 percent of America's venture capital and entrepreneurs. You b,121get Alabama. b,121We get two-thirds of the tax revenue, you get to make the red states b, 21pay their fair share. b,121b,121Since our aggregate divorce rate is 22 percent lower than the b,121Christian Coalition's, we get a bunch of happy families. You get a b,121bunch of single moms. b,121b,121Please be aware that Nuevo California will be pro-choice and b,121anti-war, and we're going to want all our citizens back from Iraq at b, 21once. If you need people to fight, ask your evangelicals. They have b, 21kids they're apparently willing to send to their deaths for no b, 21purpose, and they don't care if you don't show pictures of their b, 21children's caskets coming home. We do wish you success in Iraq, and b,121hope that the WMDs turn up, but we're not willing to spend our b,121resources in Bush's Quagmire. b,121b,121With the Blue States in hand, we will have firm control of 80 percent b, 21of the country's fresh water, more than 90 percent of the pineapple b,121and lettuce, 92 percent of the nation's fresh fruit, 95 percent of b,121America's quality wines (you can serve French wines at state dinners) b,12190 percent of all cheese, 90 percent of the high tech industry, most b, 21of the U.S. low-sulfur coal, all living redwoods, sequoias and b,121condors, all the Ivy and Seven Sister schools, plus Harvard, Yale, b,121Stanford, Cal Tech and MIT. b,121b,121With the Red States, on the other hand, you will have to cope with 88 b, 21percent of all obese Americans (and their projected health care b,121costs), 92 percent of all U.S. mosquitoes, nearly 100 percent of the b, 21tornadoes, 90 percent of the hurricanes, 99 percent of all Southern b,121Baptists, virtually 100 percent of all televangelists, Rush Limbaugh, b,121Bob Jones University, Clemson and the University of Georgia. b,121b,121We get Hollywood and Yosemite, thank you. b,121b,121Additionally, 38 percent of those in the Red states believe Jonah was b,121actually swallowed by a whale, 62 percent believe life is sacred b,121unless we're discussing the death penalty or gun laws, 44 percent say b, 21that evolution is only a theory, 53 percent that Saddam was involved b,121in 9/11 and 61 percent of you crazy b*****ds believe you are people b,121with higher morals then we lefties. b,121b,121By the way, we're taking the good pot, too. You can have that dirt b,121weed they grow in Mexico. b,121b,121Peace out, b,121Blue Statesb,121b,121b,121 a href="http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/sfo/80714812.html" target="_blank"1DEAR RED STATES.../a1
