Last one ….I promise This was at the bottom of message, but my cut/paste skills need help. All these quotes I got from their website. Nowhere do they proclaim that all these grandiose ambitions are nullified by the fact they ONLY and VERY STRICTLY are concerned with the literal letter of the law. The securities act, only the securities act, and NOTHING but the securities act. Anyone out there on the left coast? Please forward this to your provincial MPP and maybe the local press. I wonder if they've changed or deleted the inspirational words of hope from their website in the 3 years since I sent this to Karen.
