Hi Bob! Working people in our country have third world "democracy" now. The last two or three elections I got fired from my job over campaign signs on my car, and I work midnights - no one even sees the signs parked where I work. In 2006 the boss even told me why I was let go. There was no "take the signs off or bring another car". I was known as an R, so I was sacked. It is so bad this year that no Rs are visibly campaigning, fearing D violence or discrimination. -- Regards, Pete http://pete-theisen.com/ _______________________________________________ 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.
