Well, we'll see won't we. I hope that is the case, but i've been hearing from sources that there is a 'deal' in the works. A 20+ year history of seeing how duplicitous and dishonest our management...

The Prancing Carrot is no better than one of "Lenin's Useful Idiots" (look up the phrase). It quite disgusts me that there are people who would knowingly take part in the propaganda efforts of the...
