Damn, I'm sure relieved to see you all come back to this thread. I was beginning to think that I had bad breath. All of us have different opinions and different positions in the Mkt. However/Whatever/Whenever/ .....The last time I checked, this country still flies the American flag and we are all entitled to our opinion. If you don't believe me read this.......Article 2. C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\ATT00084.html C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\ATT00084.html It did not hotlink??? Please share them with us. I get bored here in frozen Iowa. I need interaction. Can I ask for a freedemofopinion response on the phenomenon of the NASDAQ down 52 pt. .....one of the largest downs in the last few years......all box makers down 2 to 4 dollars and GTW only down fractionally? I think DELL lowered their prices out of guilt. That is, according to the articles that I have read, DELL sited huge savings on component pricing and thus, lowered their prices. Margins must be good..short term. I hope GTW was able to take advantage of them. yahoo.com DWW II Thought you folks might get a giggle outa this: ÿ The following was written by State Representative Mitchell Kaye from Cobb ÿ County, GA. ÿ We, the sensible people of the United States, in an attempt to help everyone get ÿ along, restore some semblance of justice, avoid anymore riots, promote positive ÿ behavior, and secure the blessings of debt-free liberty to ourselves and our ÿ great, great, great grandchildren, hereby try one more time to establish some ÿ common sense guidelines for the terminally whiny, guilt ridden, delusional and ÿ other liberal commie pinko bedwetters. ÿ We hold these truths to be self evident that a whole lot of people were confused ÿ by the Bill of Rights and are so dim that they require a Bill of No Rights. ÿ Article 1. ÿ You do not have the right to a new car, big screen TV or any other form of ÿ wealth. More power to you if you can legally acquire them but no one is ÿ guaranteeing anything. ÿ Article 2. ÿ You do not have the right to never be offended. This country is based on ÿ freedom, and that means freedom for everyone, not just you! You may leave the ÿ room, turn the channel, express a different opinion, but the world is full of ÿ idiots and probably always will be, SO GET OVER IT. ÿ Article 3. ÿ You do not have the right to be free from harm, so if you stick a screwdriver in ÿ your eye, learn to be more careful and do not expect the tool manufacturer to ÿ make you and all your relatives independently wealthy. ÿ Article 4. ÿ You do not have the right to free food and housing. Americans are the most ÿ charitable people to be found, and will gladly help anyone in need, but we are ÿ growing weary of subsidizing generation after generation of professional couch ÿ potatoes who achieve nothing more than the creation of another generation of ÿ professional couch potatoes. ÿ Article 5. ÿ You do not have the right to free health care. That would be nice, but from the ÿ looks of public housing, we're just not interested in health care. ÿ Article 6. ÿ You do not have the right to physically harm other people. If you kidnap, rape, ÿ or intentionally maim or kill someone, don't be surprised if the rest of us want ÿ to see you fry in the electric chair. ÿ Article 7. ÿ You do not have the right to the possessions of others. If you rob, cheat or ÿ coerce away the goods or services of other citizens, don't be surprised if the ÿ rest of us get together and lock you away in a place where you still don't have ÿ the right to a big-screen color TV or a life of leisure. ÿ Article 8. ÿ You don't have the right to demand that our children risk their lives in foreign ÿ wars to soothe your aching conscience. We hate oppressive governments and won't ÿ lift a finger to stop you from going to fight if you'd like. However, we do not ÿ enjoy parenting the entire world and don't want to spend so much of our time ÿ battling each and every little tyrant with a military uniform and a funny hat. ÿ ÿ Article 9. ÿ You don't have the right to a job. All of us sure want all of you to have one, ÿ and will gladly help you along in hard times, but we expect you to take ÿ advantage of the opportunities of education and vocational training laid before ÿ you to make yourself useful. ÿ Article 10. ÿ You do not have the right to happiness. You have the right to pursue ÿ happiness-which by the way is a lot easier if you are unencumbered by an ÿ overabundance of idiotic laws created by those of you who were confused by The ÿ Bill of Rights.
