I'll accept this in part if only because it applies to me personally;
however.
the harsh and bitter reality that I see in reading innumerable web sites
and e-mails consists of ads for "Look Younger!!" potions and extreme-
right stuff basically summarized as "CUT TAXES! ELIMINATE
WELFARE! KILL ALL THOSE "HOMELESS" BUMS!!!
QUIT PAYING HUGE SUMS IN OLD AGE PENSIONS!!
Note that I'm probably bitter about the success of a far-right,
very racist mayorality candidare...whose "Nation" consists
primarily of people who want to replace ""multicultural"
Toronto with a monocultural, white/English-only culture...?!
