First, I don't give a rat's ass what anyone puts in their profile or website. I like to keep an open mine. Yes, I saw part of that program. I thought it utterly disgusting that people would do such things for money. Especially being televised to the whole nation. The only person I give credit to is that black guy that walked away from it. At least he has some dignity. Your comparison of rats to Hitlet is just plain stupid. FWIW, to end it on an explainitory note, my Name is taken from the song Wharf Rat(posted below and the song in my profile). If you do not like it, well, that is your problem, not mine; the rat stays !!!! Okay? I'm here to discuss sttocks and have a little fun. This is not fun.Wharf Rat Old man down way down down by the docks of the city, Blind and dirty asked me for a dime - dime for a cup a coffee I got no Dime but I got time to hear his story: My name is August West and I love my Pearly Baker best more than my wine ...more than my wine more than my maker though he's no friend of mine Everyone said I'd come to no good I knew I would Pearly believed them Half of my life I spent doing time for some other fucker's crime Other half found me stumbling around drunk on burgundy wine But I'll get back on my feet someday the good Lord willing if he says I may 'cause I know the life I'm living's no good I'll get a new start and live the life I should I'll get up and fly away I'll get up and fly away... ...fly away Pearly's been true true to me, true to my dying day he said I said to him: I'm sure she's been I said to him: I'm sure she's been true to you I got up and wandered Wandered downtown nowhere to go just to hang around I got a girl named Bonny Lee I hope that girl's been true to me I know she's been I'm sure she's been true to me -hunter
