Screw Blackjack! Below is another example of what Bush has unleashed upon us. Do you have any idea how easy it would be to disrupt trade between the western nations and their economies? All you have to do is put notes on planes or boats threatening to blow them up. No one could take the risk that they are a hoax and would have to turn back the plane or boat in question. The price we will ultimately pay for Bush's stupidity and incompetence in the end will be a steep one!

We don't have enough on our plate that Bush has to go after Cuba? Is this some election ploy to get the Cuban vote? Sick, sick, sick! Castro Blasts Bush On Sex Charges** cbsnews.com

This is a ridiculous assertion that is easily disproven. I refer you to Griffin's "Theory of Blackjack" and Schlessinger's "Blackjack Attack". How I play my game has absolutely nothing to do with other player's winning or losing. As a card counter, one frequently makes plays that do not coincide with others' beliefs or Basic Strategy (such as hitting 12 vs. 6 or even splitting tens). I find that others at the table often scoff at my play as "costing them money" for one reason or another. But they fail to notice that such oddball plays SAVE THEM MONEY just as frequently. Now for the BJ......goes to show you that you all will fight over anything just because you are miserable buttheads who love to fight. I have been playing/gambling at BJ since I was 18. I love the game....I win much more than I lose. I have memorized all the rules. I do not count cards. I have my own perceptions of what works and doesn't work based on years of playing. Typically, a dealer will tell a newbie if they want to learn how to play BJ correctly, then they should watch me play. This is a long way of saying I don't give a flying fukk what you or LV think about BJ and the correct way of playing the game. I'll play my way and you all can play what ever way your little brains desire.
