The worst part is that my quality of life will not be affected.

There won't be more police or fireman hired, the wait time as hospitals won't be any lower not to mention the standard basket of goods just increased.

Details? I haven't been paying attention to the news. It's my way of saving money due to the recession, I don't have to pay for anti-depressants anymore

LOL, Ian. I've been bent over and lubed up for so long my back won't straighten out any more.

All I can say is great timing!

Instead of getting screwed twice, you get screwed once. Sounds good at first, but it's a much bigger screw.....
