Never thought I'd find myself agreeing with kennyc AND James Murdoch, but we seem to be speaking with one voice 
Now Kenny, can I count on you to join me in changing the way we think and talk about this practice to more appropriate language? |
And what is your street address again? I've always had a hankering to possess property in Denmark! However, before I set out to squat my way onto your property, I have to demand certain conditions be met: all utilities must be provided at your cost; adequate supplies of food (fresh and organic veggies and fruit, meat that has not been exposed to dangerous levels of antibiotics, etc.) must be available at the price levels found in deepest Mississippi; the place simply *MUST* be furnished to the levels found in the best mansions of Europe. Have your person call my person and let's talk!
