That's one of the reasons I finally ploinked Mike. I'm not listening
because he keeps repeating the same old stuff over and over again. My
experience is 'not valid'. He's as much as called me a hillbilly. He also
thinks every red-blooded American ought to lust after a full sized American
Land Yacht, and actually feels pity for anyone who 'can't afford one'. He
thinks he's smart, but he's not as smart as Henry Ford.
