As for not liking the current government,there is only one way to fix that....take out citizenship and vote them out.

I've been 20 years with the Police, the last 13 working with Forensics. I still get a buzz going to work, and trying to help the victims, to track down the shithead that did them wrong!

**Full Noise** · 04-03-2005, 09:59 PM

I was going to join the Salvation Army, however, when I found out they didn’t have any guns or tanks I told them to shove it.

Cheers, Danny
