    Hello:

    Elliot is right... Government should NEVER be involved in business.. But, of course, it IS. As much as he might deny it, it WAS seriously involved during the Bush administration, too... And, when its involvement TILTS the playing field towards the richest of the rich amongst us, it's time for government to TILT it the other way.

    Elliot will remember our arguments of the past when I complained about how the usury laws were changed under Bush to favor the banks. He'll remember when I complained about those payday loan centers that favored banks. He'll remember when I complained about the bankruptcy laws being changed to favor the banks... He'll remember when I complained about the ability of credit card companies to raise their interest rates, WITHOUT needing a reason.

    Those are the kinds of things that TILTED the playing field, and a lot more. Of course, the right isn't going to like the tilt back. The right doesn't even think it did anything wrong by tilting it the way they did in the first place. But, they were wrong, and most of us know it.

    No, just a hint that you'd probably be irritated at that great "southern" tradition followed by millions of beer drinkin', toothless, pot bellied hicks continuing its path northward. :D

    The fans in Mtl for a Nascar race aren't remotely the same as those in the southern US.

    Of course not, the fans in Montreal talk funny. Btw, did you know that roughly 63% of NASCAR fans aren't southerners? Perhaps that's why they have races in Delaware, Illinois, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, Michigan, New York, Indiana, Nevada, Arizona, California... and Canada.

    Let's try again. I'll type a little slower this time so you can follow.



    You said that Mtl Nascar fans aren't remotely like Southerners.

    My response was, no they aren't, they just wish they were like Southerners.

    Did you follow it that time?

    So? I didn't bring up southerners, you did. I know quite a few nascar fans here, many on my hockey team.

    How do I know... they're the ones copying Southerners by becoming fans of NASCAR.

    Besides, what citizen of the 51st State of the United States wouldn't want to be more like real Americans.

    No, you just began this whole exercise with that great (misspelled) southern exclamation, yee-hah... as if we don't get the stereotypical reference. It's either a lack of sensitivity or ignorance, which is it?
