Not quite sure about him. <br /><br />Corporate power, anyway, is now that much more effective and, as you say, geared up to deal with such would-be trouble-makers.Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-14081595685062093832010-04-07T20:31:57.835-05:002010-04-07T20:31:57.835-05:00Where are they when we need them?
