You have been given the answer to that in the past. Stop trolling, hating and not learning there goober. You also need to get over your lies about millions on welfare being the other prime problem. Start going to church asshole and perhaps you will save your own ass in the end. In m>, on 11/14/2008 at 09:27 AM, "Vito" > said: > wrote >> Really there racist asshole!
