Sooo, they're going to do it anyway?  ??? Whatever happened to the good ol' cheap ball and chain?

Had the same feeling leaving Wainwright and Shilo, the left and right arm-pits of Canada.  ;D

Philosophical rant warning: My personal belief is that we are social creatures and when we gather to pay our respects to a fellow CF member or any person, the service is more to consoul the family/friends/acquaintances of the deceased person than anything else. It is comforting to know that...

Hehe 1 in 7  ;D

Pilots  ::) If only their smarts were as vast as their ego  ;D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsW5-l-y6kY&NR

You want to put a monetary value on his crime? Would the crown spare expenses in the prosecution of a murderer? I'm not saying he should hang from the highest tree, and actually think that he has learned a lesson and proved it by taking the initiative before a prosecution ordered him to do...
