Never argue with an idiot. He brings you down to his level, then beats you
with experience...

Plenty of profit?! Who are you to decide what plenty of profit is? You
don't make 'enough' profits, yet you want to take 'profits' from those you
imagine make 'enough'. I suggest that you do something that would allow you
to make 'enough' profits and then spend your profits to care for those in
third world countries.
Another thing you could do is donate 15% of your 'profit' to Africa in the
hopes that your example will get others to do the same. I'm certain there's
people in your own neighborhood that you could help, yet you want to help
Africa. I just don't understand 'take from the rich and give to the poor'
or 'help the third world over helping my neighbor'.
I'd like to let this die, but...
Thanks.

You'd think by now people would understand that socialism doesn't/can't
work.

Everything sounds about right on target except for one thing: BUSCH NORTH
DOESN'T RACE AT BRISTOL. Hence the "North" part. <G>

You know, it's always you poor guys with 'no profits' that want to take from
the rich to give to the poor, I guess there's a pattern there...
I'm done with this topic.
Thanks.

I don't know.. I didn't write the schedule!!
Maybe a simple error, or maybe they know something we don't about next
year's schedule???

Just giving money is not the answer to Africas problem.
(As a business owner what do you want: A lump of money or reduced
taxation on the stuff you sell so you can be more competitive?)
