Hit us where we live. You know, like, eliminate litigation rights of “little people” to prevent their families from being sold as hogs. I know we needn’t worry; a lot of our credit is held in solidly democratic and progressive bastions – like Saudi Arabia. How will courtyard amputation play in Peoria? Sent at: 2008 07 06
