Andy, I do not believe in certain things. I don't believe in the Tooth
Fairy,
the Great Pumpkin, Santa Clause or that we live in a truly representative
democracy. If you do, you need to look around and wonder how people voted
themselves into the mess we're in where large corporations and greedy
entreprenuers have cornered 90% of the wealth in this nation. Bill Gates, by
himself, holds a sum of wealth equal to that of the poorest 50% of the U.S.
population combined. There is obviously some tinkering going on behind the
scenes for the situation that we now find ourselves in to have evolved. If
we
had a truly representative democracy, GSE -- for example -- would be gone
tomorrow. Shame on you for spreading such ridiculous rumors.
