Hey guys, you folks are creating a strained relationship with me and the
slaves I keep 'round here cleanin' the property, grass cut and the stables
mucked out!

Not only that, they're now whining about health care insurance I never told
them about! Now they want health insurance, a Leica and a free trip to their
mother land somewhere in the southern USA to stay on and be my faithful
slaves and servants!

I don't know how this topic got so loosey goosey off Leica topic with your
guys running up here and spilling the beans to the slaves and spoiling the
good life, but it'd be nice if maybe we could humour my slaves with some
nice things about living here and the medical plan of a nation.

Actually two of my older slaves had to nearly be  put down recently because
they hadn't paid their $39 dollar a month medical insurance.

However a local wood lot owner who's now out of work because the wood barons
south of us put everyone out of work in the forests up here and he gave his
last $39 dollars and both the old guys had triple heart bi-passes for the
enormous amount of $39.00 each plus the GST federal government tax of  $2.37
. ( They charge a tax you know 'cause operations are service oriented work.
Oh you didn't know what GST stood for did you. It's our Goods and Services
tax, a sort of legacy of one of our lousy political parties.)

But now the old boys have recovered they both want photo lessons some where
warm with Leica users who can keep on topic about photography and Leica
cameras.  And if you think, which I'm sure you will, that this post is
stupid, then that's fine. It's meant to be!!!!!!!

However, before you get yer knickers in a knot and blast at me, just take a
look at the crap that has been posted about this dumb ass slavery and
medical stuff for the past few days...... Now that's really stupid and
completely off topic of the worst kind!

So let's make this a draw and get back to something, my God, anything at all
about using a damn Leica and drop this crap.  Thank you very kindly!
