Ed T... "I am not sure that everyone across Canada, retired or not, has the same opinion as you say your circle of retired friends seem to?"

Not everyone. I know this one guy in Nova Scotia who seems to think it's okay for The Hair to tell all the people who built this country over the past hundred years or so to back the fuck up so he can spend MILLIONS AND MILLIONS on a civil and religious war 8000 fuckin miles away. And, BTW, I would tell you what else they say but that would be WAY too controversial.

Sooo... lets centralize this discussion about who is least quailfied to sort out this bullshit we have allowed to happen by not listening to our elders and allowing thieves to rob them (us?) of what they worked and sacrificed DEARLY for.

Or... we could go golfing. (Canuck joke... not so funny.)
