- tome 17y agoI think you'll find that there are a whole load of baby horses still in the barn, and you're going to want to close the door to stop them getting out in the future.
- Scott_MacGregor 17y agoI agree with you Tome, I am not saying it is bad, just that it was allowed to happen and that is where the problem is. Now we taxpayers have to pay those who did this with our earnings after they knowingly shot the system down in flames.
