[kj] O/T Thanks for the messages

[sade1]

I think it's worse for them over there, at least with that outrageous Virginity 
Assessment Tax (or w/ever it stands for =) ). They're paying 20% (isn't that 
what a TV/movie/music agent gets around here????) for life's necessities and 
"unmentionables" where we're only paying (here in Cali.) 9.25% - and here in Los 
Angeles we're paying 9.75%!! Fuck, we're getting "tithed" just for patronizing 
loco Big Business! What fuckin' gall!

Janean: Your description of the U.K. mirrors the States to a T. Wish that 
weren’t the case.  Hope things improve for us both.

<<< People need to riot.>>>

People in the UK are either too apathetic, tired and overworked, or plain stupid 
to riot.  Only students have the time and energy to riot these days!

I say "plain stupid" because a lot of dumb people don't care about the state of 
shit.  On the news recently, people in the street were asked their opinions on 
the recent VAT increase (to a grossly unjust 20%), one girl said: "It won't 
bother me because my dad buys everything".

Couldn't agree more with what Janean said, 
 
I empathise with your anger totally and to leave your father sat there from 1pm 
til 6.30 defy's belief
There'd be outrage if it were livestock.
And add to that no one had even called you in the first place.
 
You have every right to be bitter & angry.
