After popping in and reading recent threads why ask me? I'm just a
conservative who only believes in oxycontin, Rush, Enron, starving babies,
Cheney, and keeping the poor under my boot-heel. My business was based on
unfettered capitalism, which is a bad thing dontcha know and invalidates my
existence on this earth.

If the OP wants my perspective, s/he can feel free to email me; I don't mung
my email address.

Love you and Denny, darlin' :-)
