[TheForge] insurance and elbows

Tue May 6 11:48:00 2003

Terry, I couldn't agree with you more.
Do you know who Alex Jones is?
You might like to listen to him for a while.
I agree with about 60% ~ 70% of what he talks about.
You may think that he is a nut-case when you first hear him, but give a
listen
several times. I am glad that someone has the guts to stand up to the
government.
(including the insurance companies)

I listen to him most days on the short wave 11am ~ 2pm  weekdays.
