Well I'm sure glad someone cleared that up!  I never knew paying for
the services we expect our country to provide was worse than having no
control over your life.  This being a slave thing isn't so bad!  I
don't know why those black people had to do all that bitching.

BTW, can I still get that 12% return rate?  Sure beats my CD!
(guess what goes here?!)
