They might have known, that they eventually could have the developer by the proverbial balls by refusing long enough in order to get basically what ever they wanted?

I can't recall the subject, but I told Vigilante at one point that he should be hit upside the head.<BR/><BR/>As for immigration, did you go to my two articles published on 12/30/06 which should explain my views on the subject? They are in my archives.

Very few people would fit in the house of nails, while the rest of humanity can only wallow in life without true meaning.<BR/><BR/>You belong in the nail house, Vigilante.LittleBillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04798830752072270682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31762336.post-31078176046857518372007-04-04T10:37:00.000-07:002007-04-04T10:37:00.000-07:00Talk about a testament to the human spirit.

One of my biggest problems with many here in the US is the now widespread attitude that homes are just investments. A home to me is a place of traditions, memories, and family. They seemed to believe the same thing.Beach Bumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03111975008573423515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31762336.post-27502505353472254922007-04-03T22:17:00.000-07:002007-04-03T22:17:00.000-07:00This is an apt allegory for a very personal strugg...This is an apt allegory for a very personal struggle of my own currently. A blogging friend of mine recently sent me this from Daisaku Ikeda:<BR/><BR/>"<I>Strength is Happiness. Strength is itself victory. In weakness and cowardice there is no happiness. When you wage a struggle, you might win or you might lose.
