not at all, i was mearly expressing an opinion about speculation and those who profit by it. i didn't say they are bad if they have a legitimate use for it and it was truly available, but they are bad even if it is available and they only bought it to speculate. i'm guessing you haven't read as much legalize as i have. perhaps i shouldn't have said "absolutely" when i was refering to your written words rather than the opinion you meant to represent. in any case, it's a dead horse, go beat yourself. i suggest you read my response paying attention to the commas and the IF THEN structure of my statement. in any case i won't waste any more time on this thread after this comment, especially since i'm not directly involved and i don't read minds.
