   I live in Cagary SW, Harpo's riding.  Last election I wrote in the   
   voting area to spoil the ballot, the words were "I need better choices".   
      
   Probably will do the same in the next federal election.

   Socialist-statism corruption is a great idea so long as the credit is   
   good and other people pay for it. When the credit runs out and those   
   that pay for it leave, they can all share having nothing but   
   unemployment, debt and discontentment.
