What degree of blindness are they working with? What mind would tell them that this is a <i>good thing</i>. There are 50 million Interent users in this country alone. Most of which download something and sometime for whatever reason. They have filed potetions for 261, approximately .005% by any standard that is a horrible percentage. Yet they see this is a path to success. In the more ghettoized world that is known as 'hustling backwards'. 17896@blogcritics.org Tue, 9 Sep 2003 12:08:25 EDT
