Fer cryin' out loud...why not ban *ALL* competitive sports since those
inevitably have *LOSERS*. I'm sure the self-esteem of the New Jersey
Nets players are at a collective suicidal low (all the way to the
bank).
Heck, wipe out competitive sports. Wipe out all for-profit businesses
which compete for the almighty moolah. We must preserve the precious
self-esteem of the workers in failing companies.
(foaming at mouth) Self-esteem...damn vague psychological
concept..Politically Correct puckered a-holes...

BTW:
I didn't go to Franklin either. I had the pleasure of attending
Madison (with Clem and Astra/Amanda/Amber). Now it's a part of SMC.
I was bored at work. Now bored and pissed! Thanks Mike!
