It's nice that you're getting your money back, less interest of course, but you probably shouldn't be bragging about it. Basically, you didn't do the math right to begin with, thus giving your gov't a free ride on your money... not exactly good accounting or particulary smart unless that's what you intended. Since you said that you "just found out," well, I guess that says it all. What it says is, you know as much about Canadian tax law as you do about topic of week.... PDW |

CM Lisa will NOT love Kill Bill one or two....I thought two was better than one BTW.... No, I saw a review today. She said no Pulp fiction , either. I guess it will be another 'romantic comedy'. Oh thrills. Look on the bright side. It's a perfect opportunity to catch up on reloading...... PDW |

A government that is big enough to give you all you want is big enough to take it all away. Barry M. Goldwater A supremely brilliant man, Goldwater. None, sadly, have come close since. Do you know Goldwater also said: "I haven't really got a first class brain" His brilliance was that he relied on principles to guide him and was remarkably consistent in applying them, especially in the world of politics. Reagan, too, was guided by principles, also lacking "a first class brain". Men with first class brains, such as Bill Clinton, John Kerry and Hillary Clinton are completely devoid of consistent principles and lack the tools necessary for true leadership. They rely on cunning to get them to the next step. Goldwater was the greatest. I have two autographed photos of him here at my desk as well as other memorabilia. I even have a "Goldwater for President" bumper sticker on my truck. I wish another one like him would come along. Another did--Dan Quayle--who, too, did not have a first-class brain, and he paid for it many times over. Upon receiving a can of "Goldwater" from an ardent supporter, he tasted it and said: "This tastes like ****. I wouldn't drink it with gin!" Only once in several lifetimes... Only once in *our* lifetimes, sadly. You are right about principle vs. brilliance + cunning. I'll take principle any day. Bush has neither. Max |

I like Dan Quayle and wished he ran for President, I would have easily voted for him. When Clinton was elected, he actually said that if Clinton would do what he said he would do, things wouldn't be so bad. To actually think for himself and not toe party line shows he has guts. Amen! |

When Clinton was elected, he actually said that if Clinton would do what he said he would do, things wouldn't be so bad. To actually think for himself and not toe party line shows he has guts. Quayle was another victim of the liberal smear. His Senate colleagues, some on the left side of the aisle, were known to praise him for being consistent and true to his principles. He was a very poor speaker--hesitating, mispronouncing words, using occasional words inappropriately--but he was a pragmatic conservative who never wavered from his beliefs in order to please anyone. It's tragic that a young man of principle should be discarded, while the slick politician with no detectable principles pleases the electorate sufficiently to be elected. I guess we get what we deserve. You don't owe me any beer, but I'd enjoy sitting down with you and drinking a few. Max |
