Greedy people blinded by that yankee dollah. Don, don't you just hate those rich son of a bitches? He's been asked to show that the rich sons of bitches were, in fact, Americans as he alleged. I haven't seen his response to that yet. |

Greedy people blinded by that yankee dollah. Don, don't you just hate those rich son of a bitches? Not just because they are rich...it's the 'dog with a bone' attitude. Anyone who lives in a popular coastal area would know what I'm talking about. Development has been fairly slow coming to these areas and the locals have had use of the islands for generations. Someone buys up the property, uses it for a few weeks each summer and then guards it like a national treasure the rest of the year. No one allowed on or near the islands. Some even try to evict boaters anchoring in the coves... although they only own property above the high water mark. Hey Don, you alleged earlier that Americans bought and destroyed the islands. Now you're saying 'someone'. Who was it? Where are the scenes of the islands 'stripped of forestry' by Americans? |

How much you want for the whole country? :) Are you gonna buy the French part too? Who will you sell it to? just nuke the french part. Or that. The French are into glass. That'd work. |

And I thought you finally had risen above the cesspool. Wrong again. Bill, did you ever find where I said that the earth was only 6000 years old? I'd really like to see that. |

You have a very nice home today, do you allow people to picnic in your backyard, or park their car on your front yard? |

On a serious note, I have heard the French Canadians are snotty little SOB's. All the French Canadians I have meet were really very nice. My feeling is one on one they are great people, with a little bit of an inferiority complex due to them being a minority in Canada. |

Yeah, imagine why they'd be upset to come back during those few weeks only to find those freeloaders had peed and **** all over the place, lit fires, left trash and generally made a mess of it. Of course, they'd be rightfully rather mad about it and seek ways to keep the rabble out. |

I haven't seen his response to that yet. It's almost always "good" when this sort of development is stopped, no matter how. I'm still happy over the fact that our county commissioners and the local voters stopped Wal-Mart dead in its tracks with an intention to build some sort of "superstore" down here. The county continues to raise its "impact" fee to discourage tract builders. But we do encourage locally owned small businesses in existing commercial areas. Waterfront development is allowed but the controls are pretty strict. The local battle cry is, "Let's not become another Fairfax County." Fairfax County is a densely populated county in Northern Virginia that used to be a pleasant place to live. Not anymore. It's overdeveloped, with clogged roads, overcrowded schools, declining infrastructure, million dollar houses on an eighth of an acre lots, the whole catastrophe. It's so bad no one will move here! All those 'bad' things, including our local Wal Mart, are what drove the house prices so far up. Oh, please get me out of this briar patch! |
