- How unfortunate. A government agency that isn't losing money. Gee I think we
- should destroy it as a horrible example of how to run the government of this
- country. Just think of all of the problems it would cause if the collective
- deficit wasn't going up.

- Yes it is. I would really like to go to a university where the professors
- smoke drugs with the students, and think that they know how to run a
- society, when they really have no contact with it. Gee you wouldn't be
- headed for a professorship at Trent would you? Just make sure that you have
- no contact with reality, and then think you know exactly what would make the
- world better. Ignore the fact that the solution causes more problems then it
- solves, and try to get the NDP government to pass it. Sounds like a good
- plan to me. BTW Didn't Trent come out as a major supporter of Reaganomics
- that cause the wonderful recession in the 80s. Seems no one talks about that
- anymore funny that :-) - see ya - JAW
