As most people do, you fail to comprehend the major
thrust of Mr Baxter's legal standing.

Hello, Cal

Frankly, the K1MAN thing seems so tiny in the scheme of things. Folks are
leaving this area in droves (unemployment 6% and not all are counted. I'm
not, but I'm looking for work. Something about receiving a pension ....).
Gasoline is expected to hit $3.00 per gallon next year. I have two friends
hurting for jobs. One, who has her BA degree, developed back problems that
prevented her from sitting for extended periods. She left the Rochester
Institute of Technology and is now running a cash register behind a pharmacy
at TOPS supermarket. I suspect for $8.00 to $8.50 per hour.

Handi-Hams?

Another has her BA degree. She lost her job at Kodak a few years ago (I
lost mine in 2004) and has had a lot of trouble finding decent, permanent
employment. We are all in our mid to late 50s. Of course, the answer is to
raise the Social Security age.

Tired of being nice to all the non-resident student/work VISA aliens
yet?

Roadwork is being held back due to the high cost of asphalt.

Asphalt?

My former employer has had a former executive charged in a scheme involving
kickbacks to get the assessment of the property reduced. Hmmmm ... to 1/3
of what it was? The former (Republican) town assessor of Greece (a suburb
of Rochester) has been charged as well as an independent assessor.
Meanwhile, the former employer insists the assessments are fair and valid.
The kickbacks involved many millions of dollars.

The Chinese contributions to the Clinton/Gore campaign? C'mon Jim,
waketf up!

Anyone found the infamous weapons of mass destruction? Meanwhile, Bush
fiddles while Rome burns.

Hint: go to Detroit and work in the defense industry.

K1MAN? Not even on my radar screen. Heck, give him a 50,000 watt clear
channel AM broadcast station for all I care.

I've never listened to him. Ever. But why should I listen to Katy
Kurik and her runaway bride story?

I'm not condoning K1MAN, nor arguing against him; I am simply saying that
there are much more serious things going on in this country and around the
world than the K1MAN question.

You think? What about that "Len" guy? He's really distracting
everyone from the real issues. Otta be shot (with rochester
ektachrome).

I do, however, appreciate the fact that if one person (or group) can do it,
he feels he can do it. That, however, still precludes advertising. Beyond
that, I'll not get into it further.

Frankfurther?

For honest news, however, I'd suggest the BBC (or an Australian or Canadian
site).

Hi!!! Hi, hi!!! Whenever I hear a British Accent, I hear bias!!!
