Default RE: AMA hate?

AMA isn't a democracy any more than the U.S. of A. is a democracy. AMA, if characterized the same way governments are characterized, would be most accurately described as a "republic". A republic works by having the voters elect representatives who in turn make the laws and other decisions, like taxes, etc.
This is exactly right. Look at how polititions don't listen to your opinion in Washington or Richmond for that matter.Why, in Richmond, The senate let former Gov. Warner raise taxes by a signifiant margin.(He ran on a platform of not raising taxes) I can easily tell you that 75% of Virginians DON'T want their taxes raised. Thats a local example for me, how about in Washington, look at the Dubai ports issue. Americans didn't want to keep just them from running our ports, we wanted any non-American company to not be running anything crucial like the ports. But, guess what, this is still happening with other crucial ports, just not with Dubai.

Yep, 200 grand would buy a darn nice site down here around mobile!!!! I bet if you looked in a more rural part of georgia 200 grand would purchase a pretty nice site there as well. As far as the north east, 200 grand would almost buy you all of west virginia
I take offense at that last point. The AMA doesn't need another overpriced piece of land. Maybe 100 grand would better suit.

OTOH, STLPilot is setting a record for getting exposure of his business gratis, courtesy of RCU and his sig line. I think he's ahead on points, but then he's playing a different game than you are.

Wow Abel, you're exactly right.
