They just feel it's there for the taking. That's what I felt on this last trip. Not a very pleasant feeling at all I might add.

But I am not a big fan of the men in question. I feel like Michael Moore could really do some good, but he always goes for the cheap shot (I will say his last film, Sicko, was absolutely his best and very fair as he savaged both W and Hillary -- and rightfully so in each case).

I think that belongs there. No one is telling you to buy it or not. A book by someone like Rush (one would have to assume he could actually write) would belong at a book store only and they killed the one at DD (unfortunately) years ago.

Some years ago I got rabbits, the plan was have the 2 as pets, and raise their offsping for food. You can't eat something you've named. I ended up giving over 100 rabbits to the local high school animal husbandry program. I never knew that if you neutered a male rabbit, they still had sperm in them for about a month. More babies. MPierce, listen to your wife. Back on subject, what politian can be trusted?

It would be like selling SSE pins or tees in Paris or Anaheim. But what do I know?>> You know plenty my friend. Part of fun of going somewhere really cool is bringing back something that you can only get there. If I wear something from HDDL & someone comments it's neat to be able to say "yah it was great there" or "my daughter got it for me when she was there". Not quite as cool to say "Oh I picked this up on my last trip to WDW". It makes it much less special. And if I'm on a once in a life time vacation I want special! <<I didn't buy a single thing.>> In this tough economic time that may very well be the mantra of many folks, so Disney better take heed. If you want folks to loosen their purse strings you better be ready to give them quality. I'm glad to hear you found things to enjoy Spirit. Mr.jkayjs is heading down the end of March to see our daughter & the Bay Hill Classic. I was going to go to see the new offerings but something came up so I'll have to wait till July.

More babies.>>> We did the same thing when I was young. One day my father told me to go get a couple rabbits for dinner. I did it but it made me sick. I could never do it again and shortly after we stopped. I know it's part of nature but it wasn't part of my nature. Interesting side note....One day our rabbit cage was turned over by our dog and all the rabbits got out. we probably had twenty. These white rabbits had been in cages their entire life and surprisingly didn't know to run. when our dog would dash through them they would just jump in the air straight up. It looked like a field of popcorn. We were able to just walk around and pick them back up and put them back in the cage. BTW the dog never hurt one. he was more interested in playing with them than hurting them:0)

I do have a question about Sicko though. Did Moore actually expound the virtues of the hospital system in Cuba?
