[pct-l] my final thoughts on an off-trail subject - money grubbing

[scourtway@bpa-arch.com (Steve Courtway)]

oh yeah, the other thing that bummed me
out was the "honor system" web seed stuff.

it's like, o.k. now you're here and you've
partooken (is that a word?), we're not
going to let you leave without feeling guilty.

and once again, we all know who benefits most
from the planting of the seed, it's not Gina
and her husband's child, and it's not the PCTA,
it's the money grubbing sponsors.  Poor Gina
is like a drug runner being duped by the Mexican Mafia !!!!
