This anchor would make it awfully hard to wiggle, politically speaking.ccehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05867069792357056649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32914592.post-24852639050312165982007-12-20T11:46:00.000-08:002007-12-20T11:46:00.000-08:00Nicely put Ron.Corporations make easy targets, but...Nicely put Ron.<BR/><BR/>Corporations make easy targets, but the fact is that they are made up of living breathing individuals.
