It never was a game, top or bottom. Those in the top need someone to clean up their shit (literally), only way to get someone to do it is to threaten him with hunger and entice him with a new TV. It works better (and cheaper) the lower the threatened person is in the economic ladder. Just power, stripped from its beautiful designer clothes. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
